If it's one thing I can't stand is when you play a hand well and get screwed because the other person played badly but got lucky on the board. It was a full table and I raised in late position with a suited big slick and it left only me and the under the gun player who only called the big blind from the start. The flop came something like A 9 2 matching my ace with almost the best kicker and leaving no straight but a flush draw if she had 2 hearts in the hole. And basically the hand played out with raises and more raises. In the end she scored a flush on the river, but the cards she was calling all my raises with was 8 3! I lost like 3/4 of my stack over something she should not have even played in the first place. lame.

What were the conditions (tourney, ring game, limits)?
Remember that beginning players tend to overplay their holdings, especially ace rag and suited cards. On the flipside, some great players will play the same cards because they put you on a hand and know they will get paid off if they hit.
You also didn't tell us when and how much money went in on at each point. Post the hand history and everyone will be much more able to help you out.
If someone has a read on you and knows you only raise with very big cards they will play to see the flop. They will know if you hit the flop or not and if they hit a piece of the flop you will pay them off handsomely. But then again they can be total donks if your play very low limits and freerolls.
I feel ur pain brother. ;-)
Low limits and freerolls are the home of bad beats!
