One of those days

Well, the subject says it all, the poker gods giveth, and the poker gods taketh away. Just couldn't get anything going today. Played in 8 sng's, had one cash, a 3rd, and 4 4ths!!!!!!!! It was sickening. It wasn't bad beats at all either, i was just really card dead, or EVERY time i raised pre flop, i would either run into KK after me hitting top pair of Q or J (this busted me out of 2 sng's) or i would pick up AK, get 3 or 4 callers and WHIFF on the flop completely!! If i threw out a cont. bet, i would get raised, if i checked, there would be a bet and raise behind me, i just couldn't win! I think it was one of those days that even if Phil Ivey played my cards, the results bascially would've been the same...BUSTO!! The last one i played, mid position raised to 60, i hadQQ on button, and called. Flop came AQ7, he bet 100, i call, turn is an A, he bets 250, i raise him to 600, he pushes, as i'm preteding to think about calling ( i have a boat) and ripping him, i finally call...he turns over AQ...goodbye tom...5 hands into the sit n go. Again, it wasn't bad beats, just bad luck. Hopefully tomorrow will be a different day.

Played some .25-.50 nl hold em again, still taking a break from omaha8 until i have a losing day at hold em. Won about 17 bucks but it should've been more. Here is a hand that is bugging me and want to know what you think. Post your reply in the comment section on how u think i played the hand. I pick up AKs in early position, i make it 1.5, next guy re raises me to 4, button cold calls the raise, so do i. Flop comes 853 with 2 spades (i have AK of spades) i check, guy who re raised me bets 7, button min raises to 14 ( this is where i think i should've released my hand), i called, orignal bettor calls. Turn is an ace. Now i have top pair top kicker and nut flush draw. I check, next guy checks, guy who re raised bets 8!! (at 1st i put him on a set with the min re raise, now with the small bet, i was thinking maybe he has QQ or something and that 8 is a scared bet). So i call his 8, into a 60 pot, and the other guy mucks. River is a blank, he has like 20 bucks left, so i just push all in, he calls, set of 3's for him...i lose a 120 pot. Did i butcher this hand?? i don't really think so, the call on the flop after the re raise is really the only part i'm questioning. Let me know what you think.

A quick update...so fulltilt just whored me as per the usual...got stacked in my hold em (goodbye hold em cash games)...dude had been raising 50% of pots. It was folded to him in the cutoff, he raises to 2 bucks, i have AQ in bb so i call...flop comes AK2, i check, he bets 4, i call, turn is a 3, i bet 10, he makes it 23, i put him all in, he calls, pocket 2's...gg Murph.

Murph. You couldn't fold that after the turn. The min raise meant that he was in love with his hand...hence you were getting very nice impied odds. Had you hit your flush on the turn or river you would have possibly had his entire stack. The only play that is somewhat questionable is putting him all in after the river when it was fairly certain he was going to call because the river was a blank. I probably would have done the same though.
