Seriously... What the fuck is going on?

I did as I said before and went back to play some more hands. Played another 900 hands so a total of 1550 hands today. Todays' result? Another nightmare, -$200. 8 fucking buyins.

I really don't get it, so I started thinking, what's actually going wrong here? I looked a bit in pokertracker and found out that in the last few days (since I started blogging here), I've only won 6 pots over $20 and lost 14. In todays' session I won 3 and lost 9...

The 3 I won (listed in order of pot size):
AA vs KJ
JJ vs 66
AQ vs A8

The 9 I lost (listed in order of pot size):
AK vs AA
AK vs A2
JJ vs K9
QJ vs Q9
88 vs KK
KJ vs A2
AK vs 53
KK vs 88
A6 vs Q7

So I started out as favourite in all except 3 hands of the above. This is obviously a bad sign and a very important issue. What is it that I do that makes me lose the big pots but not able to win them? I win tons and tons of small pots (well at least I have 40+ W$WSF) but not the ones that really makes a difference.

I'm getting the feeling that it's not just bad luck anymore, cause this has been my biggest poker problem for ages and it's nowhere near evening out, if anything it's getting worse.

Anyway, some more hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/221001
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/221028
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/221040

I'll admit that I'm not proud at all of my play this session because while I do know that it's bad as a poker player to be weak and get tilted, this is definitely starting to get on my nerves very badly and I'm affraid it makes me a worse poker player. However, the main problem about big pots still remains because I have that problem when I'm playing "good" as well.

Suggestions?

BR down at $644. Need to win $256 and, more importantly, learn how to play before I get to move up to NL50 :/

forget about "having the best hand" preflop unless it was all in preflop. if you're losing the big pots then you are stacking off too light. stop calling 3 streets with Top pair, and only make a big raise when you have trips of better... of course keep making small rasies and winning the small pots when you can, but give up before the bets get big if your hand is in any way beatable

As you can see, I'm not excusing the fact that they were the best hands preflop, I'm only using it to whine at myself cause I'm treating them wrong.
