Two games - two bad beats..

Played two home games tonight, lost both on bad beats:

Game #1: Starting chips: 10.000. Blinds currently at: 500-1000. Chip count: 6000.

Ive been delt AQ and i preraise 2000. One caller. The flop comes 3-5-Q (rainbow). I go all in - he calls. I show me AQ he shows me pocket 8's. 4th card i cant remember, but wasnt usefull for any of us. The river is thrown at the table, and I'm looking at what? Thats right - one more 8...

I'm not a sore looser, so i congratulate the winner and leave the table. The game ends about ½ hour later, and we decide to play one more.

Game #2: Starting chips: 10.000. Blind currently at: 400-800. Chip count: 8000.

Ive been delt AA and i preraise 1000. The dude right after me raises to all-in, which is about 9000 more. One more goes all in with about 1400. I, of course, go all in. We show our cards, and, as i suspected, the other two players are also holding aces. Theyve got: AhKh and Ad10d. The flop comes: 3h, 6h, 9d. The turn: Qd. I'm now facing two flushdraws...... River: 9h.

Needless to say i left the game, left the house, drove home screaming all the way, and went to bed furious..

I can handle one bad beat, but two in one night... AAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!
