Default Anybody else have this problem?

This isnt a complaint post or anything, just something I notice I do...

When somebody posts a bad beat, and its a SNG or tourney, it matters less to me than if it was a cash game. Like somebody says "OMG he rivered a flush against my Aces and I was out on the bubble!" vs. "OMG he rivered a flush against my Aces and I'm dead flat broke!". I'll read the latter every time. This seriously could be just me...

There are fewer bad beats in tourneys becauwse they require more skill than cash games.

I don't know the last time that I've read a SNG bad beat post.

I couldn't disagree more. The real skill is being able to play both cash and tourney very well i.e., Phil Ivey.
Many tournament players suck at cash and vise versa.
A bad beat is a bad beat, whatever your're playing, but cash bad beats hurt a lot more (tourney = limited liability), and I have more sympathy for those players.
Cheers
