Why do I bother?

So its bank holiday weekend, and I spend about 12 hours of it playing poker.

So close, yet so far, I'm down about 18-20 buy-ins, sigh.

I was playing an $11 180manners, JJ vs 99 to make me about 6 of 13, and the flop comes XXX, then I get some fkin lag, I'm waiting, praying I don't see a 9, and then bang, turn X, river 9

FUCK

Just now, I'm 13 of 26 in a 180manner, and I raise from the c/o with k8, folded to bb who calls, flop comes 8xXx8h, I bet, villain shoves, I call, he shows QhTh. WTF

Turn Xh, river yep....Xh

FUCK YOU

I also got mightily pissed off at myself yday in the $5 rebuy on stars, I'm 200th of 380 or something, when I raise 2.5bbs with JJ, a super aggro big stack shoves. Now, if anyone else had shoved, I'd fold. But I'd seen this guy push with Ax, Kx etc, I fancied myself as a 75% chance.

Nope.

He shows rockets.

FUCK ME.

Why didn't I just fold, I fking hate when I bust with shizz pocket pairs when I don't need to. I usually play jacks as a mid pair, and this weekend in key hands they failed me.

Why do I bother. I seriously wish I could do something better with my time.

Just do something better with your time then :0)
I found that not playing poker anymore really helps me avoid bad beats. Just saying.
