An end to a shitty night....

Absolutely right. And I didn't mean to come down so hard, especially if it was a shitty night.

But yeah, I would definitely say that you don't need to be calling raises to see a flop with 44 or similar hands in that situation. If you don't hit a set, you've wasted a lot of chips. You should only be playing premium hands in that situation.
