Horrible start -5 BIs but also the biggest pot I've won to date!!!

This has been a horrible start. Down 4 buy ins already. 1 I gave away though. I had KKxxss v/s a 20% 3 bettor and called his 3 bet pre. I shove with an overpair and flush draw and he had AA and my flush covered. Then I flop nut straight v/s super agro and I CR the flop, turn puts a possible higher straight but I don't think he has it and pot it and he calls. River pairs the board and he insta shove when I check and I call his $20 bet and he had a small set. Just now v/s a med Stack I have 2 over pairs on a TT5 board and he CR me 1/2 his stack and I shove and he had t5xx lol So in 30 minutes I lost 4 days of profits. Gotten tight up and get my head right. Super frustrating to lose that many buy ins so quick on some really unfortunate hands.

The KK hand was me making a move v/s an agro opponent and he just happaned to have a bigger hand for once. I guess I could have folded the 2nd nut straight when the board paired and had he timed down I would have. I really thought he was making a big bluff with the quick bet though.

This is getting worse. Short stacks are picking me apart hitting with weird crap v/s my big hands and everyone is getting huge hands v/s me and I end up paying off but no one is paying me off today.

4 way pot I turn nut straight and check in EP and everyone checks and river pairs and I have to check fold in a huge pot. At some point I have to get a hand to hold up come on. Down 5 buy ins now and fixing to call it a day this is unreal. Just took a couple pots including I raise btn and both blinds call I flop btm 2 and a OESD and get it in v/s top set and get there. Also was able to a couple other med pots. I raised BvB and guy flopped 2nd nut flush v/s my top set and i bet called flop, called turn and rivered the boat and led pot and he called. Good thing I got lucky on the draw there cause if I lost there I'm down 6 buy ins and quitting for the day. Hope I can keep some momentum now and get close to even today. Every paired board today someone has hit and then I turn a huge straight and luckily I only paid off small bets v/s a super agro guy bug stack. I know I'm not supposed to draw on a paired board but usually they don't hit a boat every time.

OK storm is rolling in and I just got up a little thanks to the hand below. Time to call it a day before my internet cuts out.

OK Just saw what happened here. We both turn the nut straight but I'm freerolling a bigger straight and river it for a 500BB pot weeeeeee Just saw that we're 50/50 on the hand. He has 4 outs to a full house and I have 4 outs to the larger straight. Got lucky big time here to not split.
