wtf is wrong with poker stars, first kk loses to aT when some idiot catches his ace on the river to make 2 pair, i didnt go broke cuz i layed the k, but still lost money.
then this:
for this hand, i know i could of folded preflop, but Q8 suited in position for 1.50 isn't a lot to call, i thought i caught a great flop.
he bets out 2.50 with a set? so i raised him to see where i am at..
he calls... i am thinking, AQ KK or AA now or continuation bet call...
turn is rag... couldnt help... he checks.
no way i am checking, so i want to take it and bet 10, he pushes...
i am not folding top 2 pair on a none scary looking flop... no flush or str8 (no way he was on a3, unless it was spades)
only a set can beat me and it was QQ? like come da f*ck on... give me a break...
i would of let this hand go, if he had 88 or 33, cant take how he had QQ and it still hit with 1 card...

Yeah the flop screwed ya. Not sure if you would be able to let this one go, you'd have to know your opponent pretty well.
As far as bad beats and "pokerstars," this is nothing out of the ordinary. I take similar beats many many times a day. KK losing to A10 isn't bad at all, that's only about a 70/30. It's not like KK against K10 or anything.
Why on earth are you calling raises with Q-8??
If it folded around to you, I can see raising with Q-8, but yeah, calling a raise with a hand like that isn't too strong.

I wanted to actually re-raise in that position because his preflop was kind of weak...
for instance, if i re-raised preflop and had the same flop, no way i was getting away from the hand and neither with him
if i miss the flop with my re-raise and my 1 or 2 continuation bets got called, then i would ez back off him.
but what if my Q8 didnt hit so damn good, then i guess i would of not risked my entire stake... if you think about it, i think all the chips were going to be in the middle...
i dont think there would be a bet or anything he could of did to get me off top 2p

Yeah you're right, the only way you wouldn't be able to lose your stack here would be to fold PF, you do have position on him, so calling here is a good small-ball play.
However, depsite this, you're still playing a full-ring Small stakes NL game, I gotta think there are better places to get your money into the pot preflop. Players are weak enough at these limits that you can bust people holding TPWK left and right. If you don't have a table with at least some of these weak passive fish, stand up and find a new table.
Although I'm definitely not saying that you can never make this kind of PF call, I would prefer to do it against a less aggressive opponent perhaps, or save this type of move for a 6-max game.

If you re-raised preflop you would have had a better idea of where you stood - if you planned on re-raising, why didn't you?

probably not enough time to do it... if this was live, i think i would of raised.
