Most of us are on the wrong end of bad beats all the time and see it not as a bad thing; I go so far as to say that bad beats can be a sign that you are playing well. Some players suffer a bad beat and it throws them off, they get really pissed at the cosmic injustice of it and go on tilt. I see the purpose of this section as posting your bad beats and being able to then let them go. If you are prone to holding onto bad beats and letting it affect your game, you can come to this section and post the hand and leave all that negative energy here.

niether is a bad beat.
1st hand you should of saw that coming
2nd hand is a lost race . a race you were ahead indeed

A bad beat I consider as follow you flop a boat and some ass clown calls your allin and catches a bigger boat on the river.
also flopiing quads and some other assclown catches better quads by runner
runner now thats a bad beat

Strangely enough you gave me +rep for this and said "ill race ya qqvsaa anytime online"

Don't get me wrong, thanks for the + rep. But do you mean you'll take QQ vs. my AA anytime online? Because it's rigged or something?

Agreed. Leave the negative energy here, in this section, where people who don't want to see it can easily choose to ignore it.

really good point, i actually used to feel alot better about bad beats after telling someone about them to. so i totally get it, i guess i just dont need to anymore.
if its gonna help ur game by posting them here and forgetting about them, then its something u should def. be doing.

i guess i was just trying to say, that ppl who actually beleive bad beats and bad luck are the reason they are a losing player overall, as if they are somehow unluckier than the rest of the world, those ppl are only fooling themselves and hurting their bb/100 in the long run by tricking themselves and blaming bad play, on bad luck.
basically exactly what the article ZY just posted said.
