In bad bits there is nothing neither bad nor good, in terms of "extra" wins or losses. When I suffer from another bad beat, in fact, I simply return those "surpluses" that I undeservedly received as a favorite. It is more painful to lose due to a bad game or a bad stake, so you can lose your game and get into tilt

I think we all try to make the best decisions that we think are good, but they are really not.
I think that you can learn from both "good" and "bad" calls.
I've learned that it's best not to go all-in with someone who has more chips than you, unless you have the nuts, no matter how good you think your decision is. If you lose, you're gone. If you don't play your decision, you're still in the game.

Winning and Losing
Losing with the best hand to the lesser hand before the flop or even after the flop is just part of the game. Having pocket aces vs 7-8 preflop is a big advantage, but sometimes things just don't work out. It's a game of odds at times.

Moneywise it would be perfect put playing would be rather boring then. I won't make any big bucks ever (there are easier ways like sports betting) so half the charm of playing poker, for me at least, is try to play better than opponent

I feel like we are always learning, no matter how long you play poker... The biggest mistake is to assume that you are flawless... You know that isn't true..
Don't bother taking wrong decisions, it's all part of the learning process.. and even if you lose after taking the right decision, be happy! Few people do this and that's what will take you to the next level
Always play smart before anything

You can spend a lot of time discussing complex concepts that are now in vogue, but the most successful poker players most often rely on simple, long-tested tactics that have shown their profitability in the past.

I'm going to be unhappy either way and there's not a lot in it. Probably the only time i'm going to be OK with the situation is when I bet or call an all in which I know to have a lot less than 50% equity but is a correct call because of the odds I'm getting - given I already expect to lose AND am making a correct decision, I'm cool with going out that way.

Loosing with bad calls makes me feel more uncomfortable than loosing with good calls. When an opponent made a good call, that's fine, he played well and he deserved it. Although I still think we have to stay calm with loosing with bad beats. I remember that I played a tournament last week. When I have JJ against an opponent at big blinds, my image was very tight and the tour is on the bubble. He called and the board was 982. I make a CBet then he raised me. The pot was too high so I pushed all in. And he called me with A9 and won the pot when the river turned an A. After that loss, I just had about 5bb left. Fortunately, I manage to survive, got into the money, and finish 2nd. So just staying calm and never giving up are always keys to success.

Nobody likes to lose!
If I make a mistake I can deal with that. Hopefully I can learn, or at least understand what was in my control and own my action.
I get really pissed off when people who play like donks get routinely rewarded for their terrible calls with gifts on the river. That shit makes me crazy.
