OP you gotta be told the truth, this one hand is plenty to see your game needs a ton of work for you to be anywhere near competent. This coming from a guy who is nowhere close to top class at poker. Also your mental game needs a lot of work from your spout at the end of your thread. This is a very clear xc otf and pretty easy fold as played once he jams your donklead. But you should never have led in the first place. Post more hands here, ask friends who are better than you for advice both with hands and with the mental side, and always look for ways to improve your game. This was not a cooler, and I'm sure a lot of hands you've played were not coolers although you decide to call them that because you're not as good as you think. Doesn't mean you can't improve and get better at the game.

What hands are you going to continue with then? This is pretty high up in our range (depends how many combos of QQ+ we slowplay here, and what we do with AK ofc) and folding to a bet on a decent flop for our hand is exploitable and weak. Sometimes we just have to call with some hands because we need folds on later streets or face getting owned by good players.
