The best game online, the worst session in history

So I am posting this because this was probably the worst session I have every had anywhere, at any time.  These were by far the most aggressive, reckless, and poor poker players for the game they were in.  And somehow, I should have been up +$1000, but, of course, I ran like utter dog shit and was down -$400.  Just a little background:  this is a $0.50-$1.00 PLO 8 deep buy in cash game with the average pots size for over an hour being $120+!

 HEADS UP HANDS:

This one was not a bad beat and I made a bad call on the river but how do you fold this hand in heads up play?

HAND #3 where I should scoop a $300 pot but somehow don't.  And not because the other super strong hand in the 3 way pot chops with me, but the guys drawing literally to four outs for HALF.  Gets there.
