Personally i don't mind if i lose with bad call/mistake from myself (at least from that i can learn) but it takes me over the moon to lose to 1-3 out bad beats. But i have read that others beg differ... how about you?
but you have to think in terms of how the hand plays out in the long term. Your opponent has around 1-3% chance of hitting that card, that means that about 98 times out of 100 you are going to win that pot, so you WANT your opponent to call.
But if you can consistently get your chips in good and get called, you are going to print money in the long term.
all right. it’s not very important that you can lose with the best hand in some respects. victory, with normal tactics will be at a distance ..it doesnt matter if i lose a huge favorite or as an underdog, its still the same thing, for the most part.
but, when i lose a hand as a huge favorite, i'm still winning in the long run.
I would much rather lose from a good call. At least the loss is somewhat softened by the fact that my play was correct.
