Top pair poor kicker

[Jarud]

Flopping top pair poor kicker against a calling station and then getting check raised on the river, is this always a fold?

Pretty much yes , would be nice to know the betting actions on previous streets maybe you could of done something different to get to showdown.

Sometimes it just seems that the poker gods have it out for us.

A hand that one folds pre flop in many situations. Not enough information presented here to comment further on that but yeah, as described easy fold for me.
