Overpair on a dangerous board, I do bad?

This hand is pretty simple....probably my fifth/sixth at the table, so readless...I was excited until he called the turn bet after the king showed up, and then i pretty much went into "hand over" mode.

So this officially ends my run at poker for now, just because after three years of constant reading and practice i still suck, and the main problem is my incessant battle with winning $2-3 pots and then losing it all back and more in situations like this.

Incessant

I kid you not.

Thanks in advance for your replies, I won't trouble you guys anymore.
