Generally, you seem pretty frustrated with this run. Make sure that your frustration is not affecting your decisions (see JJ vs AK comment above--I also think that is a bit too aggressive for typical ring situations).

If you really are beaten down, you might benefit from a break from the ring. Recently, I had a frustrating run in my ring game play during which I kept hitting big hands, but running up against bigger hands. After waiting all night for THE HAND (these beats were probably combined with a bad cards streak as well), these big showdowns were devastating. Sure, this was killing my profits, but it was killing my confidence more. This confidence hit probably cost me additional money money due to over-cautious play.

Maybe focus on tournaments for a while, until you get the "bad cards" thoughts out of your mind. Otherwise, if you can stay strong mentally and ride it out, then keep folding...
