Without knowing all of the action, I'm guessing the button raised; you three-bet, they four-bet and you shoved?

If that's the case there's not much you could have done differently - if they are stuck on playing Seven-Five suited from the button for all of it - then there's nothing you can do when the board runs out like that.

Is that how the hand went??

You entered the famous dark street, you had nothing to do; I believe, from my point of view, that you should have been aggressive before the flop opened, "so supposedly your opponent would have given up."

Why tilt??

If you were offered an investment every hour where you put money in knowing that you would double your money 80% of the time and get nothing back 20% of the time you'd take the investment right? You wouldn't be upset that the investment "failed" 20% of the time, you would just be eagerly waiting for the hour to come around so you could invest again. (assuming you wise not to put every cent you have down the first hour ;) )

So you should look at this hand the same way, you were 80% to double up and it just didn't go your way this time, just keep making good investments like that over and over and you will be successful.

Sometimes it's just bad luck. Just leave it behind, hard to accept but that's live.

Last weekend, breda mystery bounty live. All in preflop with KK, a guy calls with 77. Board Q7Q57, it hurts but shit happens.

In my opinion, you should go all in pre-flop depending on whether you were the first to act or not; high pairs is an all-in option.

So the goal is to 'not lose'? (instead of trying to win)
Assuming the blinds aren't high here, in most cases going all-in preflop is going to win you the minimum! You're folding out all the hands you beat and likely only getting called by hands that beat you.
