You have just done what the vast majority of casual poker players do about once every few weeks.
You bought in for a tiny amount of money without any real idea what you were doing. You had no bankroll and no idea how to manage one.
Learn the game FIRST, then buy in for a large amount and start small. You can make a living playing online poker. I do.
But do the hard work first. It WILL pay in the long run.

Don't feel to bad, people lose a lot more than 75 bucks on poker. I bought into a $220.00 event and got knocked out on the 3rd hand of the tournament. You have to be able to take the good with the bad. If you are on a bad run then i would take a break and do something else to take your mind off of it. I know when i have a bad run i go fishing or land sailing, then when i come back i am refreshed and ready to go. Poker is a mental game so when you think you can't win then you are done.
