I can tolerate a bad beat if hte person had a justified logical reason to call or go all in.
If they've got QQ and they go all in and I have AA then I can accept the two outer bad beat..
I can tolerate then hitting a full house from two pair when I've hit the nut flush on the flop.
What really gets my back up is when someone calls with absolute garbage and sucks out.
Bad beats are part and parcel of poker and sometimes they play their hand well and it works for them.
Bad players who just dont know when they are beaten ( like the idiot who calls your bets all the way to the river with 22 only to hit the set ) are the ones that just make me want to take them by hte neck and throttle the life out of them.

It is those that makes us go on tilt...
A guy who cant find the Fold button will allways pay you in the long run!
Thats not true in an MTT though is it.

Both are bad. But there is a positive side on that. If you take bad beats or you're against a calling station then you have 2 signs telling you there are opponents willing to pay your hands. Remember, it's only a bad beat when a strong gets outdrawn by a far weaker one.

We've got to have in mind that there is not only one way to play the game. Many of us would never fold KK, not even with an Ace at the flop and another guy putting all in first! Some of us always goes through statistics. Lets see: Your hand: Ks Kh Flop: Ac 7g 8h Your probability of winning is of 79%. But the first guy talking makes all in. Everybody folds and its Your turn talking: All in too? No way, the other guy have an Ace, obvious!
Now, if we extend the concept of badbeat, a guy who sould have folded and win us can be consider a type of badbeat to. It's better not waste long time thinking in this questions, because there is no way of not get one of this when we are playing!

I actually prefer a player that does not know when to fold that means don't bluff against him and wait for a hand and keep on sucking money out of him. Even if u want to bluff against him just bet big something he won't call.

I guess both of them can be worked to your advantage.
Players who dont fold will eventually pay you off, providing your consistenly agressive.
And, even bad beats are good, because they are supposed to happen. If you accept them as party of your game, you'll keep playing good regardless of bad luck, and this positivity will keep you doing the right thing. :

i used to hate dumb players, but then i realised that without them poker would not be a profitable endevour. i get a little cut when my opponents call with nothing and hit something on the river, but then i realise that if they do that and don't hit (90% of the time) you will make a lot of money from them
every day of the week.
