I know you don't post these HHs for any replies/advice/interaction etc but curious to know the logic on a couple of river calls above (AA vs KT where the world gets there by river and the directly above AK vs A8)
Obv if you don't wanna disclose and would rather stick to posting 'bad beats' minus any interruption then no worries.
While I'm pondering that hhyftrrfdr, can I ask, how would you have played this hand? And disregarding the eventual suck out turn, what do you make of Jamie1314's call of the four bet jam with A10 off?

Here's my thinking behind the first of these hands...
AA vs KT I 4x raised pre UTG and get called from the SB.
Flop comes 7sKh6h. I bet 3/4 pot and get a call. He could have something like 89. Or even 89 suited. But not likely. Not with the kind of cards he’d been wanting to see flops with (raggy aces, Broadway cards, mid pairs or higher)
So I dont put him on any kind of draw (not really worried about the straight draw and holding the Ah and with the Kh on the board, what two hearts is he holding that he made the call pre? QJ? Q10? Possible but not likely)
I put him on some kind of KQ (maybe with the Qh) or KJ combo. I think he would’ve 3 bet pre with AK. And maybe even AQ or AJ too, although he might flat with that and see the texture of the flop.
And K10, even suited, seems too loose to be even at the bottom end of his range for the call pre. So I’m not worried about the turn making the a straight.
And having ruled out K10 or any two heart holding, I’m not really worried about the 8h on the river (what hand that called pre was helped by that 8? K9 suited? Unlikely.
His river jam is a polarising bet. And sure he could have flopped, turned or rivered a set. But he could also have been betting AK for value, or a missed gutshot with AQ or AJ, or even betting A10 and trying to push a me off a hand like KQ or KJ (which is probably a bit too loose but could be in my 3x UTG opening range).
And I only need to win 30% of the time for that to be a profitable play (I think?)
My thinking in this hand (and probably both hands) could’ve been flawed at each step. And I don’t doubt that there’s some tilt at play here with the way I've been running lately and ongoing disbelief that I've been tucked up yet again.
So that's the mental game flaws that you've noted at work...

67% pre. 87% on the flop. And then runner runner again.

You want players to make bad calls and losing plays.
It's also completely pointless embroiling yourself with how your opponents play their hands, as it's not something you have any control over.
I wouldn't have played AT like that, but I would've played JJ probably the same (guessing it's a BH?)
The runout is irrelevant when the chips go in pre.
