Re: I folded QQ before the flop

Well, I knew if I went down to AA or KK, or worse yet A2s on the opening hand, i'd basically put my forehead through the freakin' monitor.

That's silly. If you go out on the opening hand, you have lost $22, not your limbs, not your reputation, not your pets, just $22. There is no shame in making the right play and losing.
You know why people will call you down with bottom pair on an ace-high board? I'm not sure, but I think they overemphasize how much it hurts to get bluffed off the best hand. This overemphasis is a big weakness that causes horrible mistakes. Fearing a loss on the first hand is a similar weakness.
