Hi all.
Just been reading a few posts about bad beats.
I, like the rest of us, suffer from the pain and frustration of on the bubble and the button, delt AA, guy UTG, chip leader $12000 raises 5 times bb (1000), folded to u. U push all in (4000), he calls with AK dominated!!!
Flop 10,J,Q now u need a K (which NEVER comes???)
But, lets try to put things into perspective here. Poker is about making the right decision based on the information you have. It is not an exact science.
At best, pre flop, u r about 90% to win, meaning, u r 10% to lose!!!
U have to accept u do not have a God given right to win with any hand until the final card has been delt.
The best way to deal with it is to analize the situation, put yourself in the other guys shoes and most of the time you will think "I can see why he did that" Makes me feel a little better anyway!!!
