I play speed poker and there is always a decent traffic at NL20, which I play. There is no any traffic at NL10 and NL50, which is strange.
Here is the report for Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge:
Starting bankroll: 947,19 EUR (1.061,04 USD)

Week 34
Hands (NL20): 5.948
Profit: -78,22 EUR (-88,14 USD)
Rakeback: 26,00 EUR (29,30 USD)
Exchange rate difference: -1,13 EUR (-1,27 USD)
Week 34 profit: -53,35 (-60,11 USD)
Week 34 progress: -5,17%

-------------------------------------------------------------
Overall profit: 31,58 EUR (35,58 USD)
Overall progress: +0,83%
After an up, the down follows, which is a standard pattern of my challenge. I was quite unlucky for the whole week, lost some really incredible spots, but probably the crucial hands were delt today:

And those were the difference between having a winning week and a losing week. Overall, I shouldn't be unsatisfied with my game. I've stayed break even at NL20, which is fine because I don't have to move down. I also managed to increase my 3bet and squeeze frequencies further. I need a heater, which I'm waitting too long for. I don't remember I even had one this year.

Is this normal? 
You focus on bad beats and coolers too often.

True. I probably shouldn't do that, but this one was quite interesting to post. Actually, I think we could argue for check/folding this river, but will post it in Hand Discussions Forum later.
Don't get me wrong it's tough not to when you're running bad, but not constructive.
Agree that hand isn't exactly straightforward. Terrible board for AA in a 4bet pot.
AA has 36% equity against AK, QJs, KQ, AT, KK, QQ, JJ. Less if we discount QJ, which we likely can.
If he's calling it off with AQ, we've close to 50%. Big "if", there.
It's just a really gross flop and turn. It feels awful to x/f there but it's probably best, though it obv depends on button.
But how much did you lose? 
Should have not post the picture yesterday, because they got me today. 
Had a few spots where I lost a significant amount of yesterday's winning, but I think I played them correctly, so all fine.

I don't understand why you didn't ship the flop in the second hand? I guess you misread stack sizes etc?

I misread the stack sizes. His stack confused me for a bit. But as I said, whatever. I have to call/bet any turn.
