Stagnant

Do you ever have one of those sessions where you seem to win and lose the same $200 over and over? And how is it that when I have these sessions, the number is always $200?
So, $2/$5 at The V...slightly distracted but overall focused. The first pot that I rake in is a bluff....folded to me on the button, I have 10/6s, raise and take it.
I then make a stupid call...I have J/10 in the C/O in a limped/family pot. It gets checked to the river on a board of 6/4/3/Q/10. This aggressive asian female to my right makes a pot sized bet on the river and of course, I have to play sheriff and call. She shows K/10. Bye Bye, $25.
I then move to the main game and sit and fold and sit and fold. I pick up enough small pots on the flop to stay even.
I did manage to pull of a nice bluff. This guy would always raise in LP when folded to him(which usually ended up being my BB) and I would always end up folding the garbage that I had but this time, I played back at him. He raised to $25 and I reraise to $60. He calls. Flop is nine high, I bet $75 and he folds. I never even looked at my cards.
I then pick up a set of 6s on a suited heart flop and check call the flop and turn, hoping to fill up. I knew that the guy had flopped a flush. The funny thing is that I checked the river to him and he checks back...and shows A/10h....the NUTS! He checked the nuts, in position, on the river!!!
So, I am down to like $275. I dont want to rebuy...I should have but I dont. I am dealt KK in the BB in a limped pot. I raise to $40 and the 2 seat calls me. He says that it is a tilt call....he had just lost $300 with the K high flush against an A high flush to the worst player at the table.
Flop is 10/7/3 rainbow. I throw in a bill. HE CALLS! Turn is an 8...I push my remaining $125 in...thinking that I am beat and HE CALLS! River is a 4, I flip my KK up and he says, nice hand. I asked him if he had 8/9 and he was tilting, so he wouldnt tell me. He changed tables and about an hour later, I went over and batted my eyelashes and said...8/9??? and he said yes.
So, tonight, I need to play well and have the deck hit me in the face....not too much to ask for, right?
