not just 1, but DAYS of bad beats

ok, So I started playing for real money like 2 months ago. (4 dollar cash games - 0.02/0.04) I started out with 38 dollar (I deposit in euros so thats why it was not 40 bucks Very Happy )

After 4 weeks I was down to 14 dollar. Then 5 days ago I had 48 dollar!!! Man , I was happy, I thought I had the hang of it... Now I am down to 1.5 dollar Shocked
(had to stop playing or I would have nothing left)

Problem is, I don't know how I did this.....
I've been getting these really awefull hands (the hammer, 4-10 stuff like that so I folded allot , sometimes limping for the sake of it, but when I hit a decent starting hand I couldn't do anything.... most would fold and still, if it went heads up I would lose against stupid hands...

If I follow all the hands I come to the conclusion that I mostly didn't have anything, so the folding was good in my opinion. I ordered some books now (Harrington on Cash Games Vol 1 and 2) and gonna read up...

Any advice from other players?? or remarks
