Welcome to Pokerowned.
Poker just isn't for you bud. Your too sensitive. If you can't handle losing with KK you can't handle poker period. I have lost with quads, for a pot big enough to pay my bills for 3 months, I got over it, moved on and got it all back. Think about it, you lost a hand that at best you were a 4to1 favorite, that means 20% of the time YOU LOSE. And you think its not you that needs to "get serious"? Poker is a game of RESULTS not predictability. Trust in variables not probables.
This is why you take notes. You start putting them on a range of hands that they are willing to give away their chips with.
If you notice that he/she only does it with aces then fold. However, if the person is doing it with Ace Jack and up then you made the absolute best call. So they knocked you out. It is about making the correct decision for that situation.
You have to learn to distance yourself from the bad beats.
I have been around for a month or so, I have found that there is really little actual 'play' in these freerolls. It is for the most part just push or fold.
The shovefest always happens at the beginning of any freeroll, it's just a fact of life. You should only be looking to go all in against a couple of opponents with AA or KK. If they get cracked oh well. Otherwise you wait for the field to thin out and begin to play.
In my opinion, you want the rags to call you, the odds are still the same...let them try it
