What he said.

Look I know this is BBV, and you want sympathy, but this was a VERY standard hand, and if this causes you to go so nutso, poker may not be for you. Some of the posters here likely make more in a month playing poker than you do at your job, so take advice like a man and quit being daft.

You played the hand terribly preflop, bad on the flop, ok on the turn, and lost to a guy with ~23% equity. The other hand, you played bad too, as you called $18 to spike a set vs a guy with only $63 more, when you are only going to hit a set 1 in every 8.5 flops, thus needing 7.5-1 total odds to call. You were getting just over 5-1 on his $$$, and about another 1.5-1 on dead $$$ in the pot, so even if you stack him EVERY time you hit a set, (which obviously, you don't), you are STILL losing $$$.

That's enough strategy for BBV. I'm amazed you have gotten to ~3500 posts on here if you are truly this bad without already being told so.
