Keep losing in the river to 2 or 3 outers. Should I stop playing poker, completely?

[Magic305]

First of all hello to the cardschat community. just joined.
I am in my early 60's have been playing poker for like 5 years. EVERY TIME I go to the local casino where I live
with $100 to $300 I end up losing it all in the river to players who bet big in the flop and turn while being in a much
worse position than I am and end up hitting a one, or, two or three outer in the river. This has happened to me not the last
three session its like the to sessions. I feel like its more than bad luck, it's someone telling me to stop playing poker.
I have all the session written in my note pad on my phone App. Here are a couple
flop was K K A, I had K J, am in the button, small blind bets $105, I went all in for $125, He had A 6, He HITS and A in the river.
Like that case I have 5 other examples. Is poker not designed for every one?
Thinking about quiting the losses are also adding up in the hundreds to even thousands.
Thanks to anyone replying

A huge number of players end up quitting poker, even sometimes those who play well and are able to win. In my opinion, the main reason why most people fail at poker is not due to their lack of technical knowledge of the game. They are unable to choose the right line of play or action when it is really needed. That is, they lack one important component - execution. Most people don't know how to react when they get really badly dealt, when they can't hit a single flop, or bad beats start hitting one after another. They get frustrated, make bad calls, and sometimes go all out, literally handing out their money right and left. Keep playing, luck will come.

Welcome to CardsChat!

I don't play live poker a lot, so I cannot really judge any specialities. Although, I don't think you have to get discouraged this much by those bad beats.

If you have the best hand and go all-in, there's usually nothing wrong with that. Although you should consider the potential outs your opponent might have. If the board has an open-ended straight and flush draw, you'll loose your stack in about 50% of the cases. But if you're having trips, that's usually pretty safe on a dry board.
