c. Bubble Boy. The second I bust 3-4 hands come to mind that I should not have played and cost me a chance at redeeming my buy in.

Bubbling is tough but all are bad. Especially if you feel you played everything right.

don't get taken out early. if you know your going to play for 3 or 4 hours. tossing your stack in with high pairs is not good. make sure u make your hand before tossing the stack

being the bubble boy for 1% of the pay out is not crippling to your bank roll. getting stressed is not good foreget and move on

a.Getting knocked out first hand AA vs KK.
Especially when you had short-stacked bubble time, no reason not to push AA or KK preflop even at the best situation or position, or heads-up and still lost and the worst is you lost on the river! boom! 1 card change everything..

If I had to choose one of the answers it would be c, that is just not a fun spot to be in. Making up my own answer it is 100% when I don't trust my instincts and either make a bad play or don't make a move I should. I've gotten much better at letting it go, learning from the mistake and playing in the moment but I still have to consciously real myself in sometimes.

A mix of being the bubble and being dealt crappy cards all the tournament ,for sure. That makes you think that you are the unluckiest guy on Earth and want to quit poker lol

I've got one live that isn't in the above list.

A player taking a long time each and every hand trying to decide whether or not he wants to play his cards preflop, even when he is first to act! Probably more funny than upsetting, but then it became old real quick. lololol.

Not making hero calls (or bluff river rrai) vs. fish like naruto_miu (Abdi) aka PeterPan on Party when you KNOW they're f.o.s. bluffing... most likely turning a pp hand that has showdown value into a bluff... or some A-rag b.s. called OOP in a terrible spot due to situation, effective stack sizes, table dynamics, etc. etc. but you don't pull the trigger.
I mean you KNOW what they're doing just doesn't f'n make sense (you're going through it in your mind thinking... 'WTF? pfff.. no f'n way. I KNOW it!... but??") and the CAPTAIN shows you his b.s. AND you were right... he did actually make a ridiculously bad preflop call OOP in SB when you 3-bet some splashy lagtard who's open-raising every single time in HiJack & Cutoff (even though there's two re-shove stacks to their left & the fool is raise/folding repeatedly while getting better than 2to1 but is only smart enough to know "I should be raising to steal in late position cuz it says so where I reads it somewherezsss" but they didn't read the part about looking at the full situation, including stack sizes on players to their left still to act & calculating whether or not they'll be calling off to their shoves.
Yah.. so anyways, You see that sure enough, Mr. Reckless Fktard has flatted a 3bet A-rag b.s. hand OOP & you KNOW he's thinking ahead about as far ahead as his next breath (or his next 'button click'... because he has this uncontrollable thing with his finger... it just snap-clicks the buttons (only raise or call.. never fold .. obv.) and then the actual thought comes in after... while he exhales. "Oh.. yah. Hmm.. now what? Gosh... I didn't THINK about that part!"
And.. you fold to the fk'r. And then he says "You were right!" And he shows you 4th pair with his garbage A7o

Yah.... that ^ is about it I guess.

That successful bluff got you tilted, huh?

Though, you got to give them credit for turning a hand with no showdown value into a bluff. Maybe it was a good read, maybe they just like to be a reckless sometimes. Maybe a bit of both.

With that said, some of the stuff you said are way out of line and you have to understand that no one has to play like you or how you want them to/think they should. Nor is every player at your skill level or as knowledgeable. And not every player plays with the same intent or reasons you do.

So, to complain about a player that did something that you wouldn't do is just stupid and pointless.
