Just some friendly advice, but you seriously need to take a look at how you played this hand. Yes, he got very lucky, but you were throwing in raises on the turn when you dhould not have been.

When you get check-raised on the turn, you need to slow down and stop raising when you only have top pair and good kicker. Over 90% of the time in this situation, you will be beaten and way behind. If you have a read on this particular opponent that he may be bluff check-raising the turn, then call him down. You just cannot be sure enough to know whether he's bluffing to keep raising with the type of hand that you had.

You need to be careful of these types of situations. They are bankroll killers over time. Sometimes the money that you do not put in the pot is just as important as the money you win.
