New Zealand Day 2 - rant post

New Zealand day 2:

had a good night sleep and woke up early. Went on to have breakfast with Lee Nelson and Celina Lin. Breakfast was really tasty and to be honest, I haven't had such a fullfilling and satisfying breakfast in a long while. The conversation was really entertaining and enjoyable. We talked about many things: life, poker and general stuff. After breakfast, came back and changed and decided to check out the live cash game. Found an open seat at the 5/5 (100min, 500max).
Bought in for 5 and big hand that cost me my stack happened the 2nd hand in.

utg, utg1 limped, lag guy opened for 35, guy next to him called. i flat w/ 33 on the button, one limper called. flop (155ish) KhTx3h, limper donked bet 60, pfr folded, guy next to him called. I made a 200 dollar raise, left myself 265 behind. guy who donked instant called and next guy folded. Turn 8h and he shoved, i wasn't folding anything so i instant called, river 6h. obv the guy had QJhh. no big deal, standard.

rebought for 500 and was in bb. mp1 (200) opened to 35 and everyone folded to me and looked down QQ. what am I supposed to do w/ QQ in bb w/ a guy who started with 40bb stack?
I 3bet to 100 and he tanked and called. I even made the dark bet 100 before the flop was dealt. flop came 335 and he called and showed me KK. nice hand sir.

Then I reloaded 200, also my last cash in my wallet at the moment. Another big hand soon appeared. utg limp, utg1 (the lag) opened to 35, i flat w/ AKo in mp2. small blind flat
and we went to the flop. flop AQc8c, checked to me and i bet 80 into 110, sb c/shove to 200 and i instant called. turn K river J. sb turned over ATo and was jumping like a monkey.
To this point, I couldn't really take it anymore, i mean WTF, give me a FUCKING break okay?! Stop rewarding those idiots who make funny moves and gets there everytime!

I decided to just stay short stack and leave if i lose my last 300 nzd. Then this hand happened: that sb donk now in mp1 opened to 25, guy nexted to him flat, a girl flat otb, sb reraised to 110.
I looked down AK and it was just the easiest shove in my life with so much dead money in the pot already. So I shoved, 2nd caller all in for his last 140 and sb tanked for a bit and called off the 310 dollar 4bet shove.

flop Kd9d5d (i didn't have a diamond and was ready to see the 4th diamond coming) turn was a 9 and river was a 6d (obv, given how i run). Then, mp turned over ATo w/ no diamond and sb turned over A9o w/ no diamond!
Another bad play/bad call off got rewarded!

What can I say? I managed to drop 1200 nzd within 30 min of my first live cash game in NZ. Wondering why no matter what I do in poker, it just keeps failing. What do you want from me, poker god?

There's a welcome party tonight before the APPT starts, I don't know if I'll go but we'll see.
