I was playing a STT at my local casino and have a question about my last hand and how I played it. I haven't played a ton of live poker but have been studying it lately when I can. I'm dealt QQ UTG +1 and we are 7 handed. Blinds are 25-50 with starting stacks of 5k. I have 4.25k and I believe I was the effective stack. Folds to me and I raise to 125. SB calls and BB 3-bets to 500. I call and so does the SB. Pot = 1,750. Flop comes T-J-7 with two clubs. SB checks, BB bets 600 and I raise to 2k. SB jams, BB folds and I make an unhappy call. SB flips over 89 suited for the straight and it bricks.
I have been beating myself up for not 4-betting preflop. I may be giving up on poker because of the frustration and lack of skill that it feels I have, even though I have been working really hard on it for some time now. I can't tell if this is a cooler or if it was just played very poorly. What do you think about the hand? Go easy on me but I would like to hear opinions please.
