First of all I just want to thank you guys for actually taking the time to write a reasonable response to my post, god knows it didn't deserve that. I am going through some very rough stuff in my personal life and shouldn't have been playing at all and as I have no one to talk to about poker I ended up looking like a fool ranting online.
AznblackhawkCo hit the nail on the head. I never practiced good BRM so now that I'm down I freak out and play high trying to win it back, it's a terrible, stupid way to go about things and I need to change now.
To answer specific questions, I very rarely play 100nl, I usually three or four table 50nl zoom. I felt stupid just typing that out, why am I playing that high and so many tables. I was one tabling last night and it felt so much easier to play with only focusing on one table. I only lost $100 in the end but was up $600 at one point so losing it all just set me off. I don't play short stacked, I usually stick to a 100-200bb stack. If I am above that I leave and rebuy for 100.
As far as shoving AK goes, it seems standard to get AKs in for 100bb four handed. I find pokerstars players on the tighter side and often fold to 4 and 5bets with AK depending on their hud stats. On Party Poker, however, I constantly see people getting in TT and JJ. Against a 4/5b shoving range of TT+/AK, I feel like always folding AK to jams/4bets is super exploitable.
I think (know) my biggest factor is tilt, I constantly find myself making stupid calls when its obvious I've been drawn out or am facing a set and it is so much easier to spew money away in frustration that it is to collect yourself and play well and make it back. When I can keep it together and stay calm I generally do well. I actually did try to start over on my own from lower stakes a month ago but didn't keep it up. Here is the 20k hands of NL25 on pokerstars I played (and ran well - probably why I didn't tilt). before moving back up and spewing it all away.

I will try again to drop down to 10 or 25nl and this time two instead of four table zoom. I will set a limit of four buy ins after which I will leave for the session and after any bad beat I will sit out all tables and take a 5minute break. Would I be able to start a thread where I can post a few hands every day to discuss and update and if so, which forum would be the place for this?
Thank you all for humoring my stupidity.
