The Grind

Another tough night, played about 3 hours and dropped over 1k. Was feeling confident as well after smashing through the 13 barrier the previous night, taking my broll to dizzying new heights. Didn't play any differently to my normal game, apart from where I tried a semi-bluff allin raise with KcQc suited in position on a Tc 8c 4s flop. My opponent was an aggressive chaser who I'd seen attack with fairly weak cards and I thought I had a good chance of forcing a fold. Unfortunately he called with QQ (taking 3 of my outs), hit a Q on the turn (eliminating 3 more of my outs!) and none of my remaining 8 outs appeared on the river, so goodbye stack.
It was the usual story of slightly unlucky for the rest of it, big raises with KK called by AQ and A high flops, the odd race with small stacks with AK against mid-pairs failed to hit, and an apparently favourable AK vs A9s preflop allin for about 200 turned into TPTK vs the nut flush. Didn't tilt at any point or get myself into any pots with weak holdings, but my opponents kept drawing and hitting. Even mixing up my play with my big hands just led me into trouble (see below).
Oh well, back to the grindstone I guess and I'll hope for a 'luckier' weekend....
