there is no need to do something, all the more to drink alcohol, if you have AA - this does not mean that you won, of course it is insulting, but this is poker...

It happened at the worst moment of the biggest tournament, Million 15th, I opened UTG standard 2.5 whole 160BB, got two callers, BTN 3bet 15x, I 4bet 40x everyone folds and the BTN shoved allin to which I called, KQvs AA, he paired his K on flop and Q on turn, and I was in owe as I lost.
I was sooo freaking mad I played shootout with 27.5 to get another ticket, bear in mind my bankroll was 187 USD, I lost the first shootout then the second, went on to play 22 and 11 and 5.5 sats while playing shootout 27.5, my bankroll went to zero in no time all because of AA vs KQ that the button should ve folded after my 4bet.

In cash games, it really shouldn't bother you that much, although I can understand the frustration if you are deep into an MTT where losing this can cost hundreds of buyins. Regardless you should not be too bothered by it and maybe just get some blood flowing with some exercise as there is nothing you can do about a situation like this.

This is why I never judge my results based on the outcome of the cards.
As soon as the chips go into the middle, the hand is over from a strategy standpoint. If you hold the AA and get all-in against KK and 88, you have won the hand. You have done your job. The results DO NOT MATTER. Oh I know how painful it can feel to watch the board cards run out K8248, you feel like you didn't win the hand at all, you feel like you came in third place behind the quad 8's and the set of kings.
But you didn't. You won the hand. Period. Any claim to the contrary is misguided... but almost every poker player would claim they lost the hand. Poker players sure are weird.

Nothing. it has hapened to me countless times. I t only really hurt in a live 1 million invitaional were at the final table we were 4 left and i flopped the 3rd ace then lost runner runner to Q 7 of who madde a straight . That time still gives me nightmares but normally I just take it in stride.
