The card that would scare me the most at the table would be to see the joker come out on the turn lol lol lol

I think that if you are fearing a card you may be playing improperly because if you are playing +ev moves you can expect to get bad beats and still profit or make it through the tournament/day without being destroyed.

I never realised how much difference the river card made until I started playing Omaha... The number of times my nut flush has been rivered by a full house is sickening

It's not a big deal if an unfavorable card comes on the river, or anywhere on the board. It's going to happen, it's part of the game.

There are cards I prefer not to see on the river but not anything that is that bothersome.

When we get nuts on the flop yet the river can change everything! The river is the card of truth!
We are together!

The deal is the worst. Any hand I get can be beat. I never get the nuts on the deal.

Probably the river because it's the last card. If you start with a strong hand (let's say KK) and an ace comes on the flop, there's always hope for another K on the turn or river....if that ace comes on the river, it leaves that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.

It's not the river

I believe it's not the river the risk, is your type of game, you know when a hand is strong enough to win or not, do you know wich y the strongest cards in poker?, is it possible that your opponents to get a poker, color, straight? if there's no color and you have a traight look if you have the highest color card, else you can loose, it's all to know the game , opportunities and know if you can risk it or not

Cards don't fall in your favor every time. You have to expect they will be against you some times. Then again, they could fall in your favor, too.

Flop

Of course, it's a flop.
Especially when you have two aces, and on the flop there is pair of two, or another low-grade pair. Or there are all cards of the same suit when you haven't any card of this suit.
Flop - three cards, triple risk.
