maybe i am just not cut out for poker?

i am around 28500 hands now and still going absolutely no where, i started around 150 and currently am sitting around 177.

it was suggested to me that perhaps i was playing too tightly, so tried to adjust my play, i believe i play around 15% of hands now and raise 7-10% preflop.

anyway, it still feels like overpair or TPTK vs set is the bane of my poker existence.

today i had kings over a set, queens over a set, kk v aa preflop twice (on 2 different tables at the same time -_- )
JJJ over 222...

i should be able to get myself out of the situations when im beat by a set when i have something like kk or qq, maybe? because i can put overpairs on possible hands as well?

*sigh*

and i do see other people post things where over 10,000 hands they skyrocket, right? so ..

this one was my personal favorite hand.

the fucking guy doesnt shove on the river, and took about 30 seconds to call me. i dont think he was multitabling. what the fuck.

anyway, maybe im supposed to be profiting from well placed cbets and lots of awesome folds in the meantime, and not rely on monster hands, but everyone tells me i need to stack off in nl5, right?

i want to cry

Wow, really low. I never, ever folded a big pair if it was an overpair and my KK was 15.38 and my AA was 8.97. Maybe you'd better post some of your winning hands so we can take a look as well! I suspect it may be something to do with the size of your turn bets.
