No action, No hands, A bad beat and we break even...

So I had some decent hole cards tonight a bunch of AA, KK and AKos. But really got no action with them at all. I was happy with my play - but if you are sitting with a bunch of NITs or TAGs what can you do? As you can see at 3/4 mark of my session I got it all in with TT vs K10 - the villain flopped a K obviously. It's just so hard to get back from a beat like that in a session like this. I guess not tilting helps :)
As you can see my ev was about $6.50 - so bit frustrating but woteva, it'll equal itself out.
As I alluded to earlier today - so hard to get action and I think this small sample of a 1000 hands somewhat backs this up. But I might be wrong? I will stick to 5NL tomorrow as well. I know that with good cards and/or action I can win at 5NL - just gotta find those good spots.
Here are some relatively interesting hands:
The villain in this hand was a fish and I saw him limp again with kings after this hand :)

Guess I should be happy the villain didn't raise the nuts on the river?
Villain was a fish and seem to be spewy, when a Q came on the river felt hard for him to have a legitimate Q hand so yea a big bluff, perhaps a bit spewy myself?

I hear you with the pocket 10's hand. I got it all in today preflop with KK and got a fish to call with 88 and naturally the 8 flopped so i lost a pretty big hand early in my session.

Yea that sucks when you get drawn pout on like that at the beginning of a session - I just try to reset from that point and imagine that was my starting bankroll for session. Hope you dished out a few suckouts / coolers to even things up :)
