Default Oh Pokerstars, why has thou forsaken me?

Ok. While this is not by any means a bad beat (she had the nuts on the flop)... pokerstars has really been beating me up lately. On the flop, I am completely giving up on this hand. They gave me a free card and there are only 2 cards in the deck that can cost me this pot. Of coarse, I hit one of them on the turn... giving me a full house. Sure, there is a chance that her betting pattern indicates that she has me beat... but it is a much greater chance that she has a lone ace or a small or middle pocket pair, or even a queen or a jack. This, combined with her small stack, commits me to the pot. Is there anyone here who gets away from this hand? Is there something to be learned here?

On a QQJ38 board, QJ is looking pretty good.

To the OP: Keep getting your money in in this situation, on average you'll do pretty well.

On the off chance you're being serious here, QQ. QJ can chop.

I am being serious. 2 Q's on the board and 1 Q in the players hand. There is one Q left.

It is the nuts if that's what you're holding. However, if you're holding 33 and the board has two queens, QQ is the nuts. You don't know where the other 2 queens are.
