Sick Sick Sick Hand & Life Updates

Ok, this hand was played about half an hour ago, I'm still tilting from it and extremely angry at myself for folding. I'm actually the most tilted I've ever been from Poker (except from taking a beat at 2NL one time and following the guy around for days tryna bust him), I'm so annoyed at myself because I feel I played the hand perfectly, except the river, I just don't trust me reads at all, when they're mostly correct.

Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

BTN: $35.45
Hero (SB): $82.50
BB: $10.75
UTG: $50.10
MP: $18.85
CO: $101.10

Bit of history, I've 3bet the guy about two orbits before hand SB vs. CO, I'm running about 26/26 and have been running over the fish at this point iirc. Villain is a 23/17, w/57% fold to 3bet and a 2% 4bet range.

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is SB with K of spades K of clubs
2 folds, CO raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Hero raises to $5.50, 1 fold, CO calls $3.75

So when he flats, considering I've 3bet him before and have been running aggressively, I take him off QQ+, AK, and put him on hands like 88-JJ, AJs+, and maybe KQs, his stats suggest he's never 4betting light, or a tleast rarely, so he flats his entire range here except QQ+ and AK. I have two blockers to Kx, so that makes it even more unlikely, he can have hands like QJs, T9s, J9s in randomly aswell, but I'm happy with the situation now.

Flop: ($11.50) T of spades 9 of spades Q of hearts (2 players)
Hero bets $7, CO calls $7

Once he flat calls, I'm very happy with my hand. He's raising QQ/TT/99, also I expect him to be raising KJ aswell, the fact that I have Ks means he can't have it (obv), which means he can't take me off AKss, and even if he has As to take me off AKs, I'm ahead.

Turn: ($25.50) 5 of clubs (2 players)
Hero bets $12, CO raises to $29, Hero calls $17

I've narrowed his range down to like JJ or QJ here, with the occasion QT or T9, but they're unlikely. I'm not sure he calls another street with JJ or QJ, so I opt to bet about half pot, and hope he reveals the strength of his hand to me by either raising or flat calling. I'm looking real weak here, and when I call his raise, my hand looks like AA/KK always, so I hope he tries to take me off it on the river. I'm not worried much about him catching up, 'cos he's got like 11 outs if he's got QJ, or only 5 if he's got JJ, I'm looking for value more than anything from these hands, so I bet small, he raises like I want to, and I call. I don't like shipping because I'm only getting called by better hands, I'm hoping for him to hang himself on the river.

River: ($83.50) 3 of clubs (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $59.60 all in, Hero requests TIME, Hero folds

Result, he does! But I can't call. I'm so angry with myself, I set the whole hand up perfectly, I did everything right to get him to spazz out with QJ/JJ, and he obliged, but I couldn't click call. I'm so angry with myself right now, I'm 95% sure I'm ahead at this point, I just could not click it, and I asked the guy for his MSN, he obliged and we spoke for a bit about the hand and image, his reasoning behind the hand and my reasoning.

Just wanted to blow off some steam and write about the hand, 'cos I'm so pissed right now, I made him my puppet and canceled my plan at the last.

---------------------------------

Life wise, I'm back in employment, start work Monday, and I can't even be arsed writing about it now 'cos I'm even more angry now I've written that ^ and ran back through it, so I'll probably update it tomorrow or something.

Good luck.
