I don't know if the converter messed up but how is the pot $45.75? You both had stacks of ~$40 so shouldn't it be about $80-90? It also doesn't say your (BB) action preflop. I assumed you reraised all-in? If so you shouldn't be upset. It looks to me like you got your stack committed preflop with KK against AKo. You're a big favorite. If you're upset because he made a flush and that's how you lost you need to be less results orientented I'd say. Look at like this, you're a 65% favorite (I don't know the exact % off the top of my head). No matter HOW he wins, it's just one of the 35% of the boards that make him win. Hopefully that helps.

Personally, this exact situation is exactly why I love NL.

This is why you have a much bigger bankroll for NL, 20 - 30 buy-in.

If you can't stand the suckouts and variance, then play short stacked ie..buy-in 50xBB instead of 100x.

I have the bankroll to cover it and before that hand, I was up $40 on other tables so I barely lost much. It's just reasons like that hand are why I left NL in the first place as swings can be harsh.

If I was playing that hand on a limit table, I wouldn't have lost that much. I do wish to improve my NL game though so I got to take the crookeds with the straights.

Not sure why the hand ended up the way it did but yes, I raised all-in preflop.

this should be the very reason to love NL

your superior will punish worse players significantly more than you would have done in limit games.

you went in as nearly 2:1 favourite. you should really reconsider playing NL if you can't feel happy to put everytihing preflop with AA/KK vs worse hands regardless of result

I love the sofa king!

This is more a case of
"I hate when I get weak and play above my bankroll in a game where if I lose one hand while I am a short stack it is going to piss me off so much Ill have to post bad beats on 2+2 even though I know nobody cares"
