sunday suckouts!

Sunday I sat down to play after quite a heavy night on Saturday, and wondered whether playing while tired and hungover was the best idea. I quickly got an answer when I rapidly destroyed my first buy-in with some horrible, horrible play.
I rebought back in and slowly, slowly inched my way back up to break even point, occasionally slipping back down a couple of dollars. To be honest, I never really felt like I got into the flow of the game. I was picking up small pots but never really connecting with a big hand.
Anyway, I eventually made my way up by about a dollar and was ready to call it a day, when I got dealt a pair of Jacks, and the player to my left pushed all-in on pre-flop. Normally I'd have dropped the hand, but the very hand before the same player had responded to my preflop raise by pushing all-in, so I was sceptical about the strength of his hand. This was a mistake on my part, as he turned over a pair of Aces! However, it seems the poker gods had decided I was due to some payback after getting sucked out on in previous occasions, see below...
