Default I made a bad fold and am beating myself up about it

There were horrible players out in force yesterday due to the holiday and I won 8 buyins in 4000 hands at the NL100 level.
Then last evening things were back to normal with alot of the regulars, but still some bad players.

I played this hand, I have QQ in the CO, and raise to 3.50, and the SB calls (he is a 11/0/2.5) over 1000 hands and a solid regular. Flop comes QT8 all spades. He bets, I raise, he 3 bets small, I call. Turn rag. He bets 2/3 pot, I call. River rag. He bets $25 and I fold. He turns over KK with the king of spades. It was $25 to win $100 and I folded top set because I thought he had the flush.

Obviously, it is not the money because I won 8 times that much, but I can't stop being angry with myself.

How do I move on and not be so angry at myself for this mistake?

We all do that from time to time. Just get back to the tables and you'll play so many more hands you'll forget about that one.

I doubt I will forget.

For example:

another bad laydown from 2 months ago. Folded TT on the river on a board of 99T2Q.

bad suckout from 4 years ago. AJ v J4 allin for 3 buyins on AJ4 flop. Turn 4.

Never fold the top set.

Doubt this is correct either.
But for that price it was an obvious call.

I didn't think that could be a winning style either, but I have not one single hand where he loses more than 5 bets in his history.

I would never play that style because I believe there are more profitable styles, plus it would be really boring.
