badbeats
hi
i think it also helps some players to see what they think are bad beats - aren't
I beat myself up over very rare badbeats - for them to get to me - they have to have been
a) statistically truely bad beats
b) bad beats in the overall scheme of play
It's no good looking at a guy down to his last chips who got lucky - the guy had to make a stand sometime
same goes for the big stacks
and in cash games - well hell - you just dont know what their pain threshold is
the only had I think that has eaten me up was the guy going all-in for $43 under the gun (stood to pick up 30 cents in blinds) when I had AA on the button
he had 33 and hit trips
why did this get to me - because the play was totally out of character and totally at odds with the logic of the game / rules / stats and made no sense (other than he was telepathic) for an obviously profitable player to make such a senseless play with that hand
What I'm saying and agreeing with ray is - you must put context around badbeats - and then half of them arent - in fact most of them arent
