Poker Gone Bad

A few days back I played in the lowest NL Holdem Cash game they had going here at the PokerStars EPT Ballroom which is aprox $6 Small Blind and $6 Big Blind min buy in was 5k crown which is like $300 US, no Max. This is a pretty big game for me to be in as I am used to playing in a $2-5 $100/$200 max buy in game. I gave it a shot and bought in for like $500 US.

I was doing ok minus one Donkey Ass who called my all in 2 pair with a Gut shot and hit(i want that kind of action though, +EV) but I still had some chips and managed to build my roll to just under a 1k. I was 2nd to act preflop with pocket aces and I know you've heard this a million times but I need to vent. Under the Gun (UTG) raises to $60 which was a normally preflop raise at this game so I pumped it to aprox $140 and the guy right behind me calls and so does the original raiser. Flop comes 772 rainbow and the og raiser checks and so there is aprox 430 or so in the Pot and I have like $750 behind. I don't think twice and I'm calling any bet here anyways so I push hoping to scoop the pot right there or have some dude with kk, QQ or whatever call which they would. Guy behind me folded and the OG preflop raiser calls. I just bought this fucker a beer too and was chatting it up so it hurt a little more than usual and this is also the biggest pot I've ever been in so that sucked too. He shows 7,10 for trips and of course no ace came:( I hear the worlds tiniest violin playing..don't you)
