If you're gonna raise out of the big blind why don't you continuation bet? You gotta at least try and represent AA or KK. Betting when the 2 hits is a rather poor play, it obviously doesn't help your hand, so why are you betting now and not on the flop?
That being said, you played the hand so funky and none of them showed strength on the flop either, so you might be ahead. But chances are they have a boat or trips. Maybe an overpair, but they prolly bet that flop when you check it. I say fold.

Raise more PF. If you are going to thin the field you need to raise more than that. Your raise isn't really thinning the field at all, it is just bloating the pot with A high. As played, I would probably throw out a continuation bet on the flop. They could be in there with suited connectors or something like AQ. Since you checked the flop, I think you have to check the turn unimproved. I don't think you can call here as you are probably more than a 5:1 dog. At best, I think you probably only have 6 outs against a small overpair.

f*ck I'm getting so pissed off with cash games. Too much tilt is leading me to playing poorly. I should have cont. bet the flop (which I usually would). I ended up calling (probably also bad) and he showed fvcking A4 and hit the 5 on river.

Solution? Bet that flop. lol. Don't get mad at the cards though. All you can do is get your money in with the best hand. Tilting will not help you make more money. That is one of the things you have to really look at when you are about to tilt. If you want to make money, try not to tilt and you will win more money. If you start to tilt, turn off your computer, go for a walk and come back later.
