V who called w 115 with TPNK on the last hand is never folding a queen to 115 more.
I'm afraid you have to check back cash out go home and lick your wounds.

at the beginning of hand 2, Hero dries his eyes, stops acting like a baby and folds his suited triple gapper from the small blind because he realises that he ****ed up hand 1 completely and then commits to spend some time learning about 3 bet sizing before he does anything else

If you can't control you tilt you should leave it just costs you more money, .hand 2 they know your on tilt so V is never folding to you

Mental game is as important as strategy is. If a single two outer sets you off that badly you'll never survive in poker. You should work on that above all else.

What DK said above. Uncontrolled tilt has gotten the best of countless talented pokerplayers, and that issue need to be fixed. Its pointless to practise running if you cant walk.

Some old idiot assclown wrote some book and said something about winning a small pot or losing a big one.
