Yeah the only worst thing is having AA and everyone folding especially when you are low stack. It seems like everyone knows what you are holding and they just spite fold

Not sure anyone is going to top this...The worst thing about poker, besides all the reasons you listed, is when the lights go out in your town because of russian missile attacks on energy facilities. Last winter I won 3 satellites in a row at Titans Events on PokerStars. I had a ticket to the final satellite - $530. There were 10 players in the final satellite and I started that tournament by doubling my chips. And then... my lights went out. I got eliminated by blinds in that tournament.

Yeah, the only reason I didn't throw my laptop out the window at that moment was that I didn't spend money on the buy-in, but went through the 3 satellites in stages. But it was still very frustrating. But there is something to remember and your topic reminded me of such an unpleasant story.

I sympathise with you, I'm also from Ukraine and my electricity was cut off several times a day. The internet also didn't work or worked very badly because of that, and I lost a lot of tournaments, but it's nothing compared to what our soldiers are going through at the front....😥The worst thing about poker, besides all the reasons you listed, is when the lights go out in your town because of russian missile attacks on energy facilities.

first of all I wanted to thank you for this topic it's a good question that you asked
Where a lot of players, even professional ones, can encounter it several times in their career.
In my opinion the worst feeling in poker is losing control of our emotion whether it's positive or negative happy with your run your hands wins and negatives with bad run and tilting this is the most dangerous feeling is losing control of your game strategy

The worst feelings for me are the anger, frustration, anger that people have when playing or developing a hand and ending up losing it. That is why there is the term tilt, which reflects all the emotions one feels when losing one or more hands.

It used to be when I lost with a couple of AAs I felt really bad when I first started playing poker and I was very angry. I'm sitting on the big blind and I have a strong hand and everyone folds up to me. I think what the hell and when it happened a lot of times it made me a little angry but now it's a different time and we're not mad at such factors

It's a waste of time if you do not think it's extremely entertaining. Plus if people are taking 2NL seriously what about 100NL and above - pretty much dead if you want to earn money from poker. Then I started playing online some sites had 25NL and 1/2 limit as the lowest starting level. So the development is depressing to me.
The exception is of course: 1. if you are training for LIVE games, 2. are a total beginner, or 3. live in a third-world country where a few dollars means something.

I share your feelings, I am also from Ukraine. I don't want to discuss how much grief these neighbors have brought us (it is customary to avoid using bad words on the forum), but as for the game - I understand you very well. Losing control, and not through your own fault - at least a day to recover.

For me, the worst feeling in poker is being sure that I won the hand and at the end of the game I was eliminated from the tournament. It's very frustrating. This feeling of unexpected defeat leaves me devastated. But I soon move on and manage to recover emotionally.
