A lot of good advice has been put on this thread and i pretty much agree with all of it. But there is one thing that needs to be added. Take a long hard look at your own game and be prepared to be critical of yourself. None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes, lol i probably make more than most.
Bad beats tend to fall into 1 of 3 categories, bad play by our opponents, bad luck or bad play by ourselves.The hand you showed with the pocket 4's was just bad luck, he was never going to fold top trips so it wouldnt have mattered how you played it. If you take a bad beat because of bad play by your opponent then you just have to suck it up and know that they cant keep doing it. But sometimes we ourselves make mistakes by slow playing current nuts and trying to extact extra chips or bet too small to give our opponents the odds to call on a bad draw. In these situations we only have ourselves to blame when they suck out on us.
If you re-examine your own game and are happy with your play then just take a little break come back and keep playing the way you are and it will turn around for you.

Hartshorn,
I am going through exactly the same mate, can do no right on whatever I play, however I play.
Even been on the strategy to learn the "proper" way to play, still hasn't helped because you still need that little bit of luck
I'm also Team Tikay
I think them Orfordians have rigged our tables mate.
I'm trying to look on the bright side and suggest you do to, although I know its b difficult.
Good luck
