Whining about a cooler is just a waste of time. Nothing you can do and nothing you can learn from it.
I am curious however about the effective stack sizes in this hand -- if you are ripping it all in on a stack size of about 40bb or less its going to be totally fine assuming villan bet the flop properly and isn't over betting themselves. The issue here would be if you were both fairly deep stacked - say 60bb+
If you just rip in 60bb into a pot of 9bb then you are grossly overbet jamming into a situation where you are mostly ONLY going to get called by better. Sure freerolls are spazzy - but they also build bad habits - and good solid winning poker works on all levels and should be your goal overall. Ripping in 60bb+ into a flop cbet is just insanity.
Domt just blindly bet, think about the hand...there are alot of combos you can get value from on this board but there are also alot of bad cards you don't want rolling off as well - still no need to go broke here unless it's unavoidable - and that will happen sometimes - those are coolers and we don't care about them because there is nothing to learn! In this particular scenario if you are deep stacked and you just jam over a villans cbet -- why are you doing this? I assume it's certainly for value, so what value hands are you targeting here?
Think about it - there aren't many worse hands here that will call your overbet...but there are a few better ones that will. As you move up in buy in levels you won't find villans stacking off in massive pots with just a Q. Some villans will even fold top two pair here in that scenario - and if you are chasing out two pair, you are losing tons of value.
Poker is all about making the correct decisions in the moment - you need to understand what you are doing if you are looking to do well on this game. Hope this helps.
