Wow, I sure played that poorly. I don't remember the hand but I do remember that you're agressive and I probably didn't want you to fold figuring you were way behind 90+% of the time. Still, I don't like that hand but I butcher a million hands a day in a similar fashion. Good thing I have the excuse of "I am still learning".

I am so frustrated lately. I feel like my poker theory is great but I have trouble putting it into practice. I know what I should be doing in spots but I have trouble pulling the trigger. When I am playing good I am unstoppable, but the majority of the time I am simply average at best. Seeing that hand reminds me how far I am from where I want to be.

Also,

Hey Cleaner! I agree, I call down way too light when I am playing bad. Its one of my many leaks. We've played a lot together lately and I hate it because its one less spot on the table for me to try to make money from. I remember one hand where I was the aggressor and flopped top pair with a worse kicker and stupidly c/c the river when I was never good. See you at the tables! Hopefully it will be during a good stretch.
