OMGBentley is a Superuser (and tilted me!)

Okay, so OMGBentley isn't a superuser. He is a ridiculously nitty regular at Stars (and other sites) who 20+ tables and runs at 13/9/3 and usually I can outplay this guy postflop because he's just nut peddling. Well, that all came crashing down yesterday as I put in a rare Saturday session ... and yes I continue to run poorly (3 weeks and counting). Anyways here's the three hands that put me on such tilt I had to immediately close all windows and swear off poker for a few days ...

Hand 1: Battle For the Blinds

This guy steals 35% of the time and folds to a 3bet 40% of the time, but his 4bet range is only 2%. Anyways he and I have a bit of history but does a 24 tabler remember that? I figured he'd lay it down and he tanked for a good amount of time before making the call. I was at least slightly ahead, but he wins the coinflip and I lose a stack. Fair enough.

Cooler Hand ... Fun

This hand happened about 6 hands later. Again the min 4bet kinda pissed me off and I certainly wasn't going to lay it down so I flatted. With the A flopping and him donk betting it I 100% figured he had KK it just reeks of that. So I shoved, and he calls with ... yes ... a set of Aces. With the turn K I was still dead, but certainly I was doomed to lose no matter how each of us played this hand. Another stack gone.

The Tilt Master 2000

This is the hand that put me on Ape-Shit-Monkey-Tilt and really pissed me off. I can't explain his actions other than he put me on tilt and decided to set-mine with HORRIBLE odds .... and hit. I didn't slowplay my Aces, that's for sure, and his call of my preflop 3bet defies explanation. Anyways, it's obviously his day and not mine ... so yet again I lose a stack.

So?

No sense in being really pissed off, I think I played each hand okay, the AK hand maybe a preflop shove was in order but overall I just ran into a nitty regular who went into Godmode. What else could I have done? Anyways, -$300 sucks ass obviously and my epic crap run continues. Eventually it'll turn around but I'm at the point wondering if it's been 3 weeks of this stuff, when will it end? I've had 3 of my last 4 sessions where I ran $150 below-EV which is getting depressing. I guess the best remedy would be to remain positive and just play as best I can.
