Re: Sour Grapes? I get tired of draw downs!
Sound a lot like the d@#*heads who complain about their bad beats during tournaments!
I think your query could be taken seriously.
The situation you described may well be a case of your opponent perceiving that you went all in with any two, so he called with better than any two.
It happens in live games as well as online. In fact, much worse happens in live games as well.
Two solutions would be 1) do not play and 2) play more conservatively. For example, you did not have to go all in with your QQ; your opponent may have called a raise, but I doubt he would have reraised. You could have backed off when the K flopped; you would be in a bad position after doing so, but you would still be in the game.
Many here (perhaps including yourself) despise this kind of play, and it is probably true that, in the long run, you will win more often with your QQ push than not. However, every time you would win with your QQ push you would also win--less chips, of course-- with a more conservative strategy.
