Default Re: Life or Death

Your fallacy is that you treat failing to play the hand to completion as "punishment". Just because you get dealt two aces doesn't mean you're entitled to see a hand through to the end, much less that failure to do so (WHEN YOUR OPPONENT DIES, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!) is some sort of punishment.

It's a bad break, no different than when the dealer exposes your second ace and you get an offsuit four as the replacement. You'll survive it. Your opponent wasn't so lucky.
