Running Bad/Playing Bad

When Full Tilt isn't through screwing me enough, I am just playing like a moron. I play at my worst and most frustrating when I get the - "I don't believe you" syndrome, where I just don't believe anyone has anything anytime they raise. I screw myself by getting my money in bad, and when I do get my money in good (see AK vs. KQ below), FTP will do the honors for me:

I made the call, saw the hole cards, and looked away and actually asked my wife to look at the screen for me. Luckily, she couldn't see it, so I was able to see the carnage for myself. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Worst night of poker in a long, long time. Problem is, they're all being strung together.
