An addendum to all the great advice about these situations, remember: sometimes you're going to play your best poker, and lose money. You're correct to raise w/AQs, then you're correct to fold when someone comes over the top. You played it right, and you lost money. Sometimes, you might even be laying down the best hand. You're still playing correctly, and if you keep doing it over the long run, you WILL win. If not, your bankroll can't support where you're playing.

If playing perfectly meant you'd win every time, Phil Hellmuth would be King. Just ask him.
