Playing like a lemon!

What a night!! A $5 10 seater pays $10 to the top 5 goes west when i overplay a flush draw YET AGAIN!!! wtf am i doing!!? playing as bad as the people i know i can beat thats what,and spewing half my chips for no reason,this has got to stop.I'm soon out of this 1 so i try the same game but $10. I muddle along until with 7 left and me in 6th i decide to go all in with KQ suited after a couple of limpers,but 1 of them calls with AJ so thats another game lost because i played like a lemon!! I then decide to gamble and up the stakes to $20 a game,if i cash im only about even for the night so no pressure!! No messing this time,i play ultra tight to start,mucking A6,A7 etc in early position.My safe play is rewarded when i get KK at level 3 and knock out 2 people,i'm now on 4.5k,i could just wait and win but dont have to;the chip leader puts the short stack all in after the flop,he's flopped 3 Q's against the poor lads set of 3's,a little bit later and 5 have gone,ive cashed for $40 (only about $18 profit after tourney fees etc) I should stop here but thats my biggest win so far on ladbrokes so another game is on,this time only a $10 one,cash here and i'm slightly up! I play safely and after 2 levels have a small lead,then the brown stuff hits the fan!! I flop a straight and decide to bet quite small,the pots getting big with no raising and me slow playing like a pro!! Then the river pairs the board - o shit!! After trying to trap i'm now maybe up against a full house,i put a bigger bet in to put matey all in,he insta calls and shows his quad 8's!!! ouch! i'm raped on the river again!! I should have raised far more after the flop but as he flopped a set the numpty would have called whatever and done me on the river so who knows! Down to 600 but luckily double up with AK then go all in with 1200 holding A6,1 caller who has A7!! This time i river a 6 (sorry mate...f not!!) No more balls up by me,people fall and i keep out of trouble to make the final 5!! 2 back 2 back cashes & i'm up to$219,could have been worse but ive got to up my stakes,$20 tables are still full of fish waiting to give me their money..i hope!!! All i have to do i cut out my mistakes!!! laterz
