1st losing day 25PLO

Down 7 buy ins but I'm not tilted I stayed until I got 1,000 hands in and felt like I was playing good but the coolers were getting pretty unreal and I need to remove the stereo from my GTO tonight. I'm now losing at PLO 25 for the 1st time thats how bad this night was. -175 in 1,000 hands is sick. I flopped the nuts several times and forced to fold. Lost a lot with big hands v/s shorties all on flops. I can think of like 5 hands off the top of my head where I flopped nuts and had to fold. Like I flop nuts straight on KQTr board with a hand like AQJT. Turn is a K pairing the board and putting a flush draw out and the river brings the flush and someone pots it.

I only had 1 hand were I won more than $15 and only 4 where I won more than $10. I had 4 pots where I got stacked, 1 where I lost $21, and 3 other where I lost between $15 and $18.

I'll post the few winning hands cause it won't take long lol
The big pot I won't bother I limp/called 9765ss from LP and flop was 776 and AT65. PFR bets out another EP pots I call hios bet trying to keep the PFR who was short in but he folds and a 4 on the turn we get it in. I somehow hold with my %85 for once.
Next one isn't that interesting either but I was kind of deep I flop middle set and check raise an A95 flop, bet turn and river I make a straight and the guy is a fish so I pot the river hoping he's got something but he folds. Next hand I get AAJ4ds all in v/s QJJ6ss on 863 flop with my overpair and FD. No real interesting wins there.

Now for the losses.

This is pretty sick I don't think I'm ever folding any turn card so I should have either shoved or folded the flop. I have top set the only hand that beats me is T8 and I have 2 Ts in my hand. Opponent was 54/15 so he's playing a ton of hands.

I raise 8644ss on the btn. BB calls. I flop Q42ds so I have middle set and a weak flush draw. BB has QJ74ss to the 7 and weak leads I pot and he calls. Turn is offsuit 7, he leads again and I pot he calls. Now the pot is $30 and I have 11 behind and the river is another 7. I know I'm in trouble but I can't fold here. Just horrible river as I'm 90% on the turn and he's paying me off on the river most of the time. If not I still scoop a large pot.

This one is questionable and I really wish I had been double suited. http://www.pokerhand.org/?4454321
There is a min raise from a donk and a 3 bet from another weak player. I call with T987ss, another donk 4 bets, original raiser calls, 3 bettor calls and I shove as I'm not calling off 1/3 of my stack and only having 2/3 pot bet for the flop. I think my equity isn't horrible here if they have normal ranges. My biggest fear is someone having my rundown covered. There was 2 trash hands and one guy had AAxxss. My equity was only 19% but there were 5 diamonds out and I had 3 in my hand and 2 players had my flush covered so I lose a lot of equity because of that but a lot of times my draw will be live. But thats what makes it better to be dbl suited though. If you give me 3 spades instead of 3 diamonds I jump up to 26% which makes it break even. Its pretty close if you put 2 sets of AAxx out there I'm actually a favorite 4 handed if my flush is live and 26% if its not. And if someone folds out along the way its even better. You might could argue for a 4 bet pre but I don't think thats great as I can't narrow them down to AA or KK preflop when the 3rd bet was made. I think my play is decent just unlucky here.

I lose a 3 way all in with AA84ss v/s AQT8ss v/s JJ97ss. Flop was AJ4 and the AQT8 had a flush draw. Jacks led out, flush min raises, I 3 bet pot and we got it in from there. Turn blanks river hits his gutshot with a . So thats a $75 pot I lose when I was way ahead on the flop and turn.

4 handed I raise KKT6ss to the T. both blinds call, flop is T42 so I have top pair, weak flush draw, and an over pair. Now I see were 50/50 on the flop. Checks to me I bet, he raises, I pot it and he calls. Turn gives me 2 pair making me about 80/20, river is Kh giving me a set and him the flush.

This one is good. Open in front of me and 1 call I 3 bet pot with AA83ds on the btn, BB calls with 6654ss, raiser folds, caller calls. Flops is Q42ds and we get it in cause he only had a PSB left in his stack.

I limp/call with QJ93 on the btn. Hated calling the raise but I know the blinds are coming and I have the btn. Flop is Kt7 giving me a gut shot straight flush draw and a wrap and one of the blinds had KK which I'm 55/45 ahead of here. Set leads, I shove he calls. Turn pairs the 7 and I'm drawing to the J of spades and miss.

Next biggest loss is my fault. I check raise with 6543ss on a J74 flop he calls with 8677, turn is a J and I try to take him off his hand and bet and he's short and I'm getting like 5:1 on the turn when he shoves but I think I gotta fold. Maybe if he can do it with the dry J sometimes I can call. He just has a bad hand for me here cause he has some of my outs covered.

Anyway I made a couple questionable or badly timed plays. But I easily could have been up 100 today instead of down $175. I was thinking of taking a shot this weekend at $50 NL with 25 BIs and moving down if I dropped 5. obv I won't even entertain that thought now. And now I get to go take the stereo out of my car, rebox and ship it back and hopefully they get the wiring fixed this time so I can listen to my iPod in it next week.
