Devildog, the reason you're getting snarky responses from the posters here is because we have little sympathy for bad beat stories. If you get your money in while you are ahead, but lose anyway, that's a bad beat. Those suck, but they happen in poker. Even pocket aces get cracked about 15% of the time. You have to be willing to accept a certain amount of variance.

However, it sounds like not all of your losses are bad beats but some bad plays as well. The advice you get here is going to be aimed at getting you to make better poker decisions so that you'll average out as a winner, even if the "profitable" decision can lose money on a particular hand from a bad beat.
