Did I Play QQ wrong? Did I Play QQ wrong?

Hi I'm new here been playing poker for while and honestly not doing good at all since i moved from SNG to Cash games but really interested in mastering this other side of poker.

So there is this following situation...

I was playing 2nl on Winamax on a full ring table I was in position to the raiser who was in MP he raised I 3 bet him with queens for value assuming that my range was ahead of his since he had been behaving somewhat fishy through the session, I've been playing tight aggressive and I can tell he assume that I was stealing since he donk into me on the flop with almost 3/4 of the pot bet trying to take me out of the pot, the flop came Jd, 5s, 6s I reraised for value (about 2 times his initial raise) and i didn't wanted to give him a good price if he some what manage to be drawing to the flush (even tho' i put him mostly on QJ, KQ,AT, AJ, or lower pairs trying to hit a set ) when i re-raised on the flop and he flatted I narrowed his range to (top pair top kicker, a lower pair or maybe 2 spades )

the turn came and Ah he donk again and i reraised him all in knowing that he didn't have an Ace

he snap called with KJc and the river came a Jh giving him trip Js

So now the question. Did I play that wrong? first i thought that I played that correctly but I've lost my money in cash games in the same situation many times, more times than the ones than the ones that i make money on even if my read is correct and I bet the correct sizes they keep on outdrawing me. some player has TPGK and doesn't let go of his hands he ends up with trips on the river or turn while i hold KK, AA, or in this case QQ

Should i put my money on this hands? or should I only put my money in with the super nuts (sets+)

Or is it bad luck and i just have to endure it till it goes away?

I've been thinking about this hands which had repeatedly made me loose my whole stack and the only reasoning i find is that with this hands my equity is already realized and there is very little chance of improving it since i only have two outs while my opponents have with top pair top kicker if they decide to draw on me even when the price is not right they have about 5 so... that's it

i will much appreciate if someone could give me some light on this

It happens.

Too bad we can't banish the suck-out
Where suckers and fish often luck out
Variance is its name
It's part of the game
Don't like it? Then just get the ...

If you got him to call an all in with 5 outs, you didn't play it wrong.

i suggest looking into SPR then you dont have to worry about making the right or wrong play, based upon so many factors. its simply, "an over pair with low spr - time to get it all in"
