May I suggest you're a very solid player that pays a little too much attention to his own cards, and not the cards of his opponents? From all your posts, it seems like this is where you get caught the most. "I have TPTK. This guy isn't gonna bully me". The real question is.. has this guy bullied at all up to this point? If the answer is no then his aggression is authentic. Your up, down, up, down will change into up, up, down, up with the proper reads.

I haven't lost a buy in against a better hand when I put all my money for about three weeks. I remember it was a slow played KK against my QQ on a rag board. That's just variance with a dash of deception. Granted I'm on a good run, but some of it has to do with reads. You'll get there. Study your opponents intensely. Go into a session with a mission to study the patterns and work off them. If you think someone has nothing then go over the top of them. If a player is solid then be careful.
