Out of Jail...now object of ridicule

[Hotchile]

I had a couple of poker buddies spend a large portion of last night laughing at me. They both said that I committed a huge foul 3 nights ago, but I'm not sure I agree.

Playing 10-20 online. I got stuck 70 big bets and then got out and made 7 big bets. A number of times through the day my wife told me to quit and play another day but I kept analyzing my play and couldn't find any reason to quit the game. I got stuck by having opponents outdraw me at a frantic pace. I also found myself up against bigger overpairs on 5 occasions. KK vs AA twice. QQ vs KK once. JJ vs AA and JJ vs KK.
I felt at all times that I would get out of the hole.

My question is this: I felt that I was still playing well and that my opponents would eventually stop running me over. I was also keeping a close eye on whether the game started to toughen up beyond the point of no return. However, when you are stuck that badly, is it possible to make the types of judgements that I was making? Or, was I actually just chasing while justifying it to myself? I was stuck 30 BB within the first 2.5 hours so I had plenty of gas left in the tank. Did I make a bad decision after the first 2 1/2 hours to continue?

If poker is a long-term game, then what is the difference between continuing in that session or starting anew the next day? Both of my buddies said attitude. Is it reasonable to believe that my attitude would have been the same the next day?

I need to either shut these two up or seriously look at my own management skills.

Thanks in advance,

Larry
