Man I must really suck - HH's Included - Feedback wanted
I don't know why but I can't seem to win anymore. I dropped another buyin after playing for almost 2 hours 4 tabling. This shit is really starting to frustrate me. I don't even feel like I'm playing bad, although I'll be the first to admit I'm far from perfect. Here are the key hands of the session, comments are badly wanted.
Hand 1: I don't always reraise AK, but in position I felt it was a good play. The original raiser called and checked a raggedy flop. I tried to rep the overpair but he called me on the flop, and I figured that he would fold a lot of hands here. Once he called I just shut down because I don't think he's going to fold to another bet and I'm not about to try. Should I even be making plays like this at 25nl?

Hand 2: Reraise a button raiser with JJ, and it was an ok flop for me if he didn't have a king. I made a cont. bet to see where I stood which he quickly called. I checked the turn and he checked behind, and that's when I thought he didn't have a K. After a long deliberation I called his pot-sized river bet and of course he showed me KJ. In hindsight maybe I should have folded, but it really felt like a bluff and I went with my gut. Bad call or what?

Hand 3: This is why 25NL drives me nuts, people making these calls with any two suited cards that manage to flop some strange two pair. Is there anything I can do about this? Should I just assume I'm beat and fold to his raise? Him being shortstacked made me feel committed to calling off the rest. I don't know what to do in these situations anymore. Maybe a smaller bet and fold to a raise? I don't know.

Hand 4: I don't think there is possibly a worse flop here for AA, but I called the flop to see what the turn brought and how he reacted. He overbet the pot a little bit, and I just decided to fold it. Good fold? Should I raise the flop to see where I stand and check behind on the turn if he calls when he checks to me?

Hand 5: I limped 78s on the button trying to see a cheap flop with a bust-em hand in position. I flopped top two pair and bet out, the BB called. He lead out weak on the turn so I raise him with top two. I put him on either two pair or something like T9, I wanted to see where I was at on the turn which was why I raised. He called. The turn brought four to a straight although that card was unlikely to have helped him. He made a puny bet into the pot and I felt obliged to at least call. Of course he flips over bottom set. Anything I can do here?

Lately I don't feel like I can win anymore. The players at this level are so bad but they still manage to beat me. I'm down two buyins over the last two days and nothing is going right. I want to move up to 50NL but not if I can't beat the idiots at this level. I'm still up almost 8 buyins over at PP but the past two days have really been disheartening. I would really like some feedback on how I played these hands, ty.
