What do you think about improving on a hand where you and a heads up opponent went all-in on say the river card when you have a 0% chance?

Example:

You have Ac2c
Your opponent has AdQd

Flop: Ah, 6s, 10s
Turn: Ah, 6s, 10s, Qc
River: Ah, 6s, 10s, Qc, 2h

Do you think 'whatever, I lost anyways', or are you just like me, and get upset that that last card had to 'mock' you?

p.s. I had no idea how to use the little icons for the suits, can anyone explain?

There is an old star trek adage, it goes something like this

“Fool me once….SHAME on You” ….. “Fool me TWICE……SHAME ON ME”

Playing Solid Poker is about learning from one’s mistakes, it appears from your post, you understand what your mistake is, so now it the time to “Stop shoving allin”

Note: A2 in a heads up match in which your opponent is calling your raises is NEVER a good sign, unless you make your flush, so caution should be your guide going forward in these situations IMHO

As much of a roller coaster the flop, turn, and river are... Your odds of winning are really determined when you place the bet. If the other player has a better hand than you, you need to be prepared to lose. The last card being a 2 was really irrelevant and should not affect your feelings.
