Why Does Thou Burn Me?

Often after playing online poker I think to myself why? Why do I always get beat on the river. O and yes I'm glad to be writing again, I know everyone missed my indepth articles filled with poker genius found nowhere else but on alrpoker. Ha. Anyway I just finished a freeroll provided by the good people at Rounders Radio on Carbonpoker.com. To make a short story even shorter after about an hour of play I was comfortable sitting in the top 10 with 6,800 in chips when I'm dealt death also known as pocket QQ's. The blinds were one 75/150 and I raised to 450 on the bubble. Three seats down a guy calls with 375 left and the guy seated next to him pushes for about 5,500. He had pushed once before with 10's so I thought and made the call. He flips JJ's over and to my suprise my computer didn't crash with excitement that I was ahead in the hand. The other guy, by the way, held rags. The flop and turn miss us both and you guessed it J on the river. Next hand he puts me out with KK's when I pushed with A 10 and he called 1,500 with K 5. I threw that in to give you an idea of what a donk he was. Anyway looks like I'm back to the same old crap, drowning in the river every freakin time. Kind gets old, but like I was told after the tourney atleast I didn't have any real money out there. But to tell the true, in some situations money isn't everything. Losing a pot or a game to someone who is a total idiot and has no idea the true meaning of poker can really hurt.
