just got a new laptop 2 weeks ago. these are my last 2 weeks. old laptop is left in my old home. i assure you rest is similar.
having said this i said "Feel" because I dont believe ev all in and pot won is an accurate judgement of how good you run. but it serves as an general idea i guess

have you considered the idea that you could be running bad AND suck at poker at the same time and that's why you lost that money?

Reason: PS you aren't running bad, you just suck

Bro, have you not figured it out yet?
Pokerstars is a slot machine, not poker. There are so many contextual pattern flaws that are blatantly cheating players. Yes, you are being cheated by pokerstars because they never had any intention of giving you a fair game (i.e. cards running under normal distribution).
Ah that's all well and good you rig-tard idiot. Watcha gonna do about it? Quit? Nah. Better just to let pokerstars cheat FOR you than let pokerstars cheat YOU. How do you do that? **** man.
Step 1: Become an uber-cynical mother****er
Steo 2: Open your ****ing eyes
Step 3: Practice and experiment
Step 4: WIN LIKE A MOFO
So with your ****ing eyes wide ****ing open, watch how people are running. If some Russian ****er is playing T J suited all-in and cracking AA and KK, then next hand he shoves AK vs KK, hits, then gets KK and holds vs AK, just don't play him. It's that simple. Pokerstars is cheating to let this player win every hand. And you know it's true. YOU KNOW IT. You know you won't hit your draw but the other ****er will 100%. Don't play when the software has blatantly made it impossible for you to win that hand vs that player.
Some players will run like this MOST of the time, others will have good days and bad days. You need to figure out who is on a life-time pokerstars ****** RUSSIAN heater and who is just having a good day. Honestly, after a couple of weeks, you will know what's what. Don't be scared to check and see who has been winning the games you want to play that day. Check the mtt results. You see some dude at your table that has been to one or more FTs already that day, just ****ing avoid him. Either pokerstars is cheating for him or he's an excellent player, either way you're ****ed.
Watch how players run in different formats. Some guys run amazing in slow-blind mtts, some guys run amazing in turbo mtts, some that run amazing in mtts run bad in sngs and cash and vice-versa.
Keep an eye out for the position shovers. Some days, pokerstars will let a particular position-shover (i.e. button and SB stealing) hit every single time they get called. Again, AVOID. It's not ****ing difficult. If some spaztard shoves 2 9 from the SB and lucks out all the time, when you are in the BB and holding A Qs and he shoves again, if you are anywhere near the bubble or in any way care about this tournament, ****ing fold. It's that simple.
After cashing out, don't even DREAM of playing high stakes. If anything, drop down a level, play a few less tables, take it easy for a few days. If you are lucky, your BR will survive and you can live the dream another day without bashing old Mr. Visa Debit all ****ing day long.
CONVERSELY, on the RAREST of occasions when Pokerstars will cheat IN YOUR FAVOUR (i.e. you run + EV), just ****ing crucify everyone around you. Seriously. Position steal like 80%. You will win most hands and MOST of the experienced regs will take the avoiding action I recommended above. Pokerstars is so ****ing sick. I went on a reasonable run-good one afternoon, make a few FTs etc then go and play sngs. I KNOW I'm hot so I'm sitting at $60 and $100 sngs, open-shoving from every position for 50 consecutive hands. Every time I was ahead, I held, every time I was behind, I sucked out.
It's honestly that simple.
Pokerstars is a ****ing slot machine. When it gives you a chance of a good board, just keep slapping those buttons until you hit the jackpot. When you know the slot machine isn't likely to pay out, limit your exposure at all costs.
All this crap you are talking about run-bads and losing QQ vs A9 etc, I GUARANTEE if you had filtered your opponents according to the method I outlined and adjusted your play accordingly, you wouldn't feel this grief.
Anyways, gl gl and I hope you can learn to read the slot machine better in future
