M3, you are not going to believe this, but I have had the exact same session at least 3 times this month. Except my A´s were cracked by K´s on flop. Insta re-buy, pocket K´s loses to AK, with K on flop but straight on river for the opponent.

What can I say. This is poker guys. Everything can happen. Sometimes i think that the software is against me. I play it so tight and get busted from some fishes. AA against 88 he get straight , other time JJ flop come JA3 he has KQ and get T on the river. This thing make me

It sure is, what gets me angry is the fact that is cases like this, you lose not to the other player, but to the deck of cards, do you understand what I am saying?

Yes i understand, but what can you do with this? Nothing! You must be prepared for everything. But i`m not. When i see the flop and have the strongest hand and after that he beat me, i`m going angry. But how do you play against fishes??? He can beat you with 23o, and next hand he can put allin on 27 and beat you again. Will you be mad on this?

Wow thats tough....I feel for you cause I think even though you have tried bad beats/downswings before they never get easier to comprehend. Of course it's easier than the first downswing cause you never tried it before but now that bad beats are normal I think they annoy me the same everytime.

To me, it got to a point that everytime I lose to a bad beat I get just a little more irritated than the last time. So I don´t know if eventually I´ll blow up in anger or if I´ll let it go. I´ll probably end up not caring anymore about it, but it is very hard for me not to care, after all, it is money we are talking about.

I've actually gotten to the point where I simply don't care about the badbeats anymore... The poker site doesn't want me to win.. oh well! This might be because the money I play with isn't actually from my own pocket, so maybe if I deposit one day, my attitude will change.
