The More I play, the more I realise I have no idea

It has been more than 1 year since I update my blog. Miss me??? For the past year I haven't been playing much poker. I am in the autumn of my snooker career, I would rather enjoy my snooker as much as possible.
Recently headed back to the poker table. WOW! I couldn't win a pot both in PS or at the POND. Whats going on?? Here is a recap on PS, all the hand are pretty standard:
* AK on the CO or button, raised, got re-raised. Flop K x x. Shoved, I called. Bumped into AA.
* MP limped, I raised with AQ, MP called. Flop A -7 -6, he checked call. Checked/checked on turn. Either A or Q river, he betted big and I called. He flopped set.
* KK in BB. UTG popped to 3X BB, multi-caller. I pushed, got 1 caller. A on the river. He showed A 10 off.
* Raised with AQ lat position. BB re-pop, I called. Q -6 - 8 board. Turn 9, river 9. He showed 9 10 sooted.
* QQ/KK/AK bumped into AA, KK
In PLO
* Double suited Aces, raised 3X, some idiot pot with KKQx, 1 flat caller, I shoved. Both called. All rags. Donkey had something like 2368 for 2 pair.
* AQJ9, flop K 10 x, turn picked up flush draw. All-in on flop, missed everything. Lost to top and bottom 2 pair.
* Flop middle set + Top card, bumped into top set.
The list can go on and on and on.
If you thinks its bad, then at the POND its even worse. In the last 3 visits, I dealt premium hand only once with KK. All fold to me on the button, raised to $15. BB called. Flop, 10-3-4. He checked called my pot bet. Turn A, he shoved, I called (very confident he didn't have an Ace). He flipped over 2 5 off for wheel. Dealt AK about 3 times, flopped nothing all 3 times. Went there last night with Master Buck, same old story. I raised with KsJs UTG to $15, button called, SB re-pop to $45, I called and button called. FLop 9 10 x with 2 spaded. I shoved, button called. Missed everything and button showed J 10.
WTF????? Don't think i will be playing anymore poker anytime soon. Fuck this game. Fortunately for me, MLB, EPL, AFL and horses been kind to me. So the end result, pretty much square or maybe down a little bit. Overall, I didn't burn my finger.
