I'll try to get in comments before the thread is locked (as this is cleary BBV):
H1:
When Villain re-raises to $100, just get in stacks now. There is no point in leaving $40 behind because he's never folding that preflop (but he might be able to fold that postflop if he whiffs AK or his TT sees a AK flop, etc.).
As played, open shove the flop, no point in letting gutshot / over have a free shot.
H2:
I've only folded KK twice preflop. I'm probably not doing it here 125bbs deep. Flop is obviously fine.
H3:
Looks fine.
If you're tilted at this point, go home. Otherwise, top up your stack before playing a hand. The fact that you got in a hand with just $25 sitting in front of you is stupid; I'm not sure how the hand ran out that you tripled up in, but if you were sitting with a big stack it's *possible* you could have just earned all your money back here, and instead you purposely chose to sit with just 8bbs on the table (which is horrible).
H4:
Do you want to go 5way to the flop in a raised pot with KK? I don't. Raise more or limp/reraise.
Preflop has setup a very difficult spot for us, especially on this flop with tighty leading out. I would actually consider nit folding the flop with so many to act behind us. Facing the drunk raise, this is either a shove or fold. We hate most of the deck on the turn, so we have to make up our mind now whether we're in or we're out.
I have no idea what odds we're getting on the turn (helpful to post stack sizes), but one of his draws just got there (if he wasn't already ahead) and we're definitely not getting the odds to chase. But we shouldn't be in this spot anyways (i.e. ship or fold on the flop).
River is irrelevant.
If you're going to last in poker, you're going to have to be able to handle sessions like this. Cuz they happen all the time. Play your best, and make the best decisions at every point you can (you made some poor decisions along the way, imo). Long term, results will begin to trend towards how good you've played overall.
