then , about 3 weeks ago, everything i studied came togather on a table with mostly lpp's and one certified pshyco. i was able to position myself2 seats to the left of the maniac, and the other players were fine with letting me isolate him. i doubled what i had in about 4 hours.

Fuzz, it's really important that you understand that this session wasn't "everything you studied coming together". Even without seeing the hands, I can confidently say that the deck hit you in the face. In poker, luck far outweighs skill, and it takes thousands of hands for the small skill factor to make enough difference to overcome the luck. Until you understand that on any given night the cards you are dealt make the biggest single impact on your win/loss and your skill only modifies your win/loss by a smallish amount, you'll not be able to manage the ups and downs of poker.
