feelin the pain

Not sure why im posting this but I just hope someone, anyone can feel my pain. My usual game is was and wlways will be stud8b but i admit, i am on the holdem bandwagon so i have joined a local NL ring game with $1/$2 blinds. 3 hands in the last 3 weeks have severely damaged my BR. Before is get started..it may look as though i am an all-in guy( u know the guy) i can assure that I am not that man.. I am constantly looking for the biggest edge possible. That being said I a not afraid to play for all of my chips when i feel like i shave someone soundly beaten.

Hand 1
I open from 1st position with KK..it folds around to the cutoff (who has a few less chips than I) he moves all-in..I call..He flips AQ, ok now just dodge three cards.
Flop...K 8 3...turn T...river oh YEAHHHH a fn jack. Wtf just happened.

Hand 2
In BB with KK..2 early limpers..I raise to 5 times BB..first position limper goes all in( the same dude who had the AQ)...I think for moment and put him on JJ..I call...The SOB flips 22
Flop...K 2 3...turn 3...river UH HUH GIVE IT TO ME....@#!#%2

Hand 3

On the button with AK...raise..3 callers..
Flop....A K 7 rainbow....checked to me and i bet 3/4 of pot....1 caller...turn...8 still rainbow....checked to me and i bet 3/4 again leaving me about 5 bucks... the check/caller goes into the tank...he keeps telling me that he thinks im on a steal and he hase the best hand..great exactly what i wanted him to think...finally he says confidently "Ill put u all in". I call immediatley. He shows me QT????????????????????? U had me with Q high???
Any way the Goddamn Js hits the river and im broke again.

Is this normal, did I do something to offend the poker gods. I was well over 90% favorite on each hand after the flop. Especially the first two in which is was over 98%. I know these sound like exaggerations but these are honest to god, stomach churning, brutal bad beats

Sorry about the bad beat stories but i havent slept in a week and really neede to get this off my chest.
