What's your aim when you play online cash?

I"ve just had the same thing happen today:
I"ve sat down to play for about 90 minutes... Doubled up in the first half hour, got upto about 2 1/2 times my buy-in, then spent 45 minutes trying to make something happen!! Ended up losing all but my original buy-in by shoving with QQ v AK and an Ace was flopped :(
Is it wrong to risk upto 60% of your stack by shoving when you are sure your ahead?
or am I just looking at being an unlucky player?

Always buy in for the max, and only play on tables where everyone is sitting with 100-200 bbs. Usually play 9 handed. If im playing 6 max and there is 2 players with less than 50bbs then i leave. If there are deepstack tables that are active then i usually like to play on these.
I have lots of notes on people who stack off light etc, and its easy to scroll through lobby and search for these players. Also look for russians and italians because they are likely gonna be fishy. I avoid tables where there are several reg winning players. (for some reason there is lots of new russian players recently/ they like going all in for 100bbs with any pair and any Ace)
i leave a table or a whole session if i loose more than 4 buyins. In the past i have gone on major tilt and lost more than 10 max buyins just because of a couple of coolers or bad beats, this is not good. And i think i have cut out that tilt problem now.
Mostly play 10-25c recently but in the past as i have grinded 50c-$1. Cash games i find are much tougher now than just 2 years ago.

you"ve got to learn what/how the difference between normal 100bb stacks and deep stack play is...
so look to learn as much as u can about implied and reverse implied odds as this concept becomes more significant when playing deep, non nutted hands like bottom set with small pairs are mostly correct to get all in with at 100bb but at 200bb 300bb and beyond then this is where implied and reverse implied odds comes into play..
coolers at 100bb are far different to deeper stack play coolers, hands that can make nut flushes, nut straights, bigger pairs that make higher sets become way more valuable, on the flipside small pairs, non nut flushes, low pair sets and low straights lose value cos of larger reverse implied odds...
look/learn at how fold equity works when deeper, hmmm the list goes on :)....
break your game down, learn all the fundamentals, play less tables, favour learning over volume, as u learn and apply [correctly] the profits will come naturally as u get better...
start a thread/blog etc and ask the APATers about what in there opinion are the key concepts and fundamentals that u should learn and know inside out to be able to beat micros and beyond..........
if ur playing on stars, FT or party [or use hem] then import your cash sessions to here - http://www.cardrunners.com/pokertools/handconverter
start a thread and get some feedback from the APATers... [other replay sites are available]
the above are just suggestions, reading a book like ""the poker blueprint"" , get a coach, join deucescracked/cardrunners may help also etc etc...
in a nutshell, put a lot of bloody hard graft in and u"ll get better........

Always buy-in/top up to the max and don"t even think about playing cash games unless you"re prepared to invest in tracking software
