Rollercoaster week

Great start in December, during the first 5 days or so, wasn't running bad and was doing some great play, final tabled a lot of $3.25 45 man, final tabled a $4.40 Mtt field was 1298 and was the first one out in 9th place with my AJs brutalized by a set on the flop, the next day, went pretty deep in a $4.40 180 man, once in the many I switched gears and built up a big stack and then....and then this donk came in my way, I doubled him up with my A9 against his A7 allin preflop, he flops 977, I reraise him all in later on with my 66s, he snaps with K9o and strikes a 9 on the river and my last hand would be AQs on the btn 6 handed (We were 12 left), I raise 2.5x and he calls, flop 356 with 2 hearts, he donkbet into me, here I'm putting him on a draw, either a flush or a straight, so I go on an call, turn is 10, a blank, so I go ahead and shove the rest of my stack, he calls with K4 and hit a 4 on the river....I was amazed on how lucky that donk is but anyways, yesterday and today, the variance hit me in the $3.25 and I barely cashed, whenever I'm dealt KK, I lose to some Ax and when I'm dealt AK/AQ some dude wakes with AA/KK...pretty disgusting.

Today though, I went deep in a $2.20 4K guaranteed, 2572 people entered raising the prizepool to 5kish, had a steady climb in chips before the bubble as well as in the money, then I had a crazy rollercoaster, where I was 2nd in chiplead with like 175 people left, then my stack got brutalized going from 216K down to 20K then grinded it back up to 230Kish with around 90 people left, lost a coinflip worth 100K and comes the golden hand, got dealt KKs in early position and what will follow is a 3bet then a 4bet by villain who was on a heater already (I should've known better) and finally a 5bet allin by me and he snaps with the rockets, good bye me in 72nd place....
