Don't be too hard on yourself - we all make mistakes learning.
The important lesson to learn is a good thought process.
You can see now that calling a hand that will rarely improve, then folding on about the best flop you can hope for was not a good idea, but what you haven't mentioned or perhaps realised yet - is that its a great demonstration that you didn't have a plan.
Making mistakes feels bad, but really the only bad thing is if we don't learn from them - and often there's much more to be learned - like wider principles with much broader applications, than we at first think.
Often it's more comfortable to just acknowledge an error and not think too deep about why.
You say "I suck with JJ"
I say "you don't plan hands well".
Address this and your game will move on quickly.
