Already Angry, Then....

Ok so I've been doing fantastic in 1/2, the usual stupid beats that you can forget about and keep moving foward. But today I've lost 2 boats to quads, never in my life have I seen something that bad, lots of other big hands losing to the magic river card, typical stuff.... Heres an example of the quads... I need someone to tell me what I need to do to avoid throwing my monitor into the wall.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
7 folds, Button raises, SB calls, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button folds, SB 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls.

Turn: (10 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls.

River: (18 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: 18 BB

Results below:
SB has 6d 7d (four of a kind, sixes).
Hero has Ts Tc (full house, tens full of sixes).
Outcome: SB wins 18 BB.

Nothing on the river because I was all in, after losing so much in previous hands much like this one.

Go to the dollar store, buy a lot of inexpensive stuff, then break it each time this happens.

To hell with losing the hand. This is what should make you really angry. You cost yourself a lot of EV in this hand by being all-in.

You shouldn't ever be all-in in limit ring games before capping the river.

Let's say that you get 1 bet from him on the river when he doesn't make quads. You lose 4 bets when he does. Even in this case (worst possible) you still are missing out on...

(43 - 4)/44 = .89 BB/Hand of EV

Having to go all-in costs you. Don't be the guy to go all in. It is -EV. ALWAYS keep >= 12 BB in front of you.

Were you guys all-in on the river?

I guess so, but I lost the hand previous to that, without enough time to add any more money, I'm on a 50BB downswing after a ton of retarded hands, not to happy... but I know tomorrow I'll make it all back, it's going to make me go insane this swinging.

Oh man, what a great idea! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like the idea of shotglasses... but finding all that glass is a real pain.
