It's just a cooler, sorry but it's part of the game, live with it.

The min-raise on the turn could be someone looking to see if you actually go have a K, could be someone hit a set of 8's (doubtful as we'd expect that to raise pre as well), could be someone hit an oesd, could be hit 2 pair, could be someone on a straight....of all these you only beat 1 of them so why not call and re-evalute on the river (hoping to see board pair) or 3-bet to $7.50 and fold to a shove.

From looking at all the hand you posted it seems you aren't always taking into account board texture and are willing to overplay your hands too much with overbet. You need to remember, these will only ever be called when you are behind so is it really worth risking $25 to win $5?

A lot has to be taken into consideration but I do think a lot of those were coolers as "bad" as that makes you feel.
