we always forget about the times we river that backdoor straight or flush draw. the time we turn a set versus AA or KK. but when it happens to us, whoah watch out! that's not fair!

The feeling I get when I draw out on someone in any way is not in proportion to the feeling of devastation I get when I get drawn out on.

Possibly because I am a non-terrible player, at least in the games I play. As such I will very rarely draw out on someone without playing correctly. Because of this I will also have to cop more of them than I dish out.

I know I can't make money at poker without other players making errors. But I know bad beats are terrible. Why can't we acknowledge and celebrate them as such?

It's the same mentality the causes people to berate the fish at the table. I'll never figure it out.

If you never took a bad beat, that'd mean you never had people chasing you. And you'd never win money.
