things that depress you while playing poker
 

1. having AA on the BB and everyone folds

2. guy who loses a stack at 400 nl calls the table a "fish fest" then buys back in for 278.66, clearly the last of his cash

then he busts 5 hands later

3. he hands his 278.66 to some other guy

Losing big ones to my arch nemesis at the table.

Someone giving me a "Face" in the chatbox after I get worked. There is nothing more insulting than being faced.

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

Betting flop and turn HU with nut flush draw and two overs and then check/folding river. Or betting same hand and hitting an ace on river/betting for value and then getting raised and having to pay off to what you know is going to be Ace rag two pair.

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

Capping flop/turn 3 ways with open ended straight flush draw, then folding for 1 bet on the river when it blanks. I feel so lame.

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

i hate it when i'm on the bad end of hands in which someone else costs/puts you to a [censored] decision all because they were being v. stupid. like the situation Ms Poker's in here, http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?p...mp;hand=255337


however i love being on the right side of it.

V. surprising river check from Ms AA.

9. Seeing regulars I'd played with a few months earlier and who I thought weren't that good playing the highest available games and destroying them now.

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

Three semi-related ones (for NL cash games only)-

10. Sitting down at a table whose average pot size is 30x the BB only to realize that the only players seated are 3 nitty regulars with big stacks and that all the action just got up.

11. This one may be Paradise Poker specific, but having every line in the chatbox say: Take it down, (handle)

12. Flopping a set in an unraised pot

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

biggest donating uber-fish in the world donates 3 stacks at your 6max NL table, you of course get none of his cash but it gets worse. on his 4th buy in, he doubles up off some new guy at the table. you now manage to flop a set against his 200bb stack (you cover). you get it all in on the flop against his crappy draw, he hits, realizes he's back to even, and leaves the table

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

just three
1) losing allin preflop with big pairs to the guy who will call any raise with any two cards and watch him catch a flush twice (when you still had outs to resuck) on flop trips once and still losing. Then watching him hand it over to the rest of the table without you getting a chance to get all that $ back.

2) losing with sets
3) losing to some crazy runner runner by a guy who called you chasing who knows what.

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

Knowing that I horribly misplayed a hand, but not being able to figure out why or how it happened.

that guy was soooo insane. I played him and he was hitting everything. Raising no pair no draw and hitting runner runner, raising any draw with 1 card to come and hitting. It's sickening that he is probably giving some of my money away.

He is the weirdest player ever...

He will play like 5k hands at 18 vpip, then 5k hands at 40 vpip. I would surmise it was 2 different people, but whether playing tight or loose preflop, he always jams regardless of board post flop

Re: things that depress you while playing poker
 

When my "FUGGIT F U" reflex kicks in with QQ or some other overpairAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH.

It takes a long string of bad beats to tilt me, but nothing makes me feel like crap when I just know better and play awful.

Also long breakeven stretches. They are pretty lame and depressing.
