Default Ready to give up. Should I?

Working on my game - playing .05/.10 NLHE on FTP. Keep losing and losing. I think I am victim of really bad luck, and I really can't take it anymore.

For example, last night, started with $37 and ended with $0. I had 6 hands where I got all-in with 1 or 2 opps before the river. Here were my odds to win each before the river + the pot size:

95% - $23.95
91% - $4.25
64% - $6.85
61% - $11.05
86% - $3.35
77% - $9.30

I lost all 6 - all within an hour and a half timeframe.

I'm supposed to not look at results right? So, I actually am supposed to be really happy about this right?

Talk to me - I am tilted bad.

I don't understand why you would get it all in before the river if you weren't 100%? Seems pretty stupid.

FTP .5/.10 NLHE has 10% rake.. stay away from it. I'd recommend either rolling yourself enough for .10/.25 or going to another site that only rakes the .5/.10 NL at 5%.
