Why are bad beats so costly:

Generally I'll just stop ying after the first bad beat if it's ted me that much. T look back over the hand and check that it's a genuine bad beat and I got my money in good...
I think ning slow and sometimes ing fast is why it's led grinding.
If I sl have the urge to y (typily after I walk away for ten mintues) I change tables. I find myself seeking "rnge" on the person who gave me the bad beat and t I rt leaking like crazy and making bad decisions of spike.
M sitions are clear cut, but I Think a lot of times there's a ll of mis-y where you may have paid off a bad l making it "" a bad beat.
The biggest reason that Bad Be are so expensive? Because they effect you long after t had has passed.
Also. W you only have 100bb in front of you, ting cked h top pair top kicker is a lot more acceptable than w you have 350bb in front of you. Getting cked like that is a HUGE no no.
Rarely w we our monies in, are we a 100% (or n a 90%) favorite to . T provides our oppons h many opportunities to suck on us.
It also accounts for 95% of poker-related mal-illnesses.
The more you grind, the more bad be you see, and the less they sting w you them. They are simply an inevitable part of t game that you've just got to accept. Some days you'll see more than your fair share, and some days you'll see less. Try to go crazy on the former, and try to cocky on the latter.
The bad be c you money, but the hand itself. Over the long run you sld cer and cer to what your expected value was over all hands that you yed. For example you really want your oppon to make -EV ls h draws, or l you preflop h weaker hands (same concept)... that's wh making you money.
Maybe visualizing your equity helps. If you it in as a 70/30 favourite - only 70% of the pot is yours. 30% belongs to your oppon.
I agree howr that it's sl hard to deal h over the short term. I tght I was pretty bad beat resist, and I can go on 5 buy-in downsgs and more or less shrugg it off, but t month I'm running 50% under my expectation over 30k hands for �1000, and that's sl hard to stomach. I won't that money back, but at least I know that over the course of the next 100k hands it won't matter.
A big part of the psychology of it is that you got emotionally attached to the pot, but the pot is yours if you don't have the ning hand on the river. I made it a ril to click reload at alm ry all-in sition, just to prepare for loosing the pot. The be that t the m are w you fully expected that the pot was yours.
LOSING IS A PART OF THE GAME! Sorry to be so blunt but Somebody has to , somebody has to e. Pro's also e hands so obviously, anybody can and do! WIth the acl hand tgh, we have to take your word that it was aclly a BAD BEAT and a hand you got married to... death (BB) do you part!
The question isn't why are bad be so cly to one's bankroll because if they were cly to one's bankroll, t one wouldn't be rolled properly for the kes.
The question is, why does one or two bad be destroy 2/3 of the income that took two rs to grind up? It's so frustrating w you spend two rs in tedium grinding away at 6 tables, taking down small pots, ting cer and cer to the nearest benchmark, only to have alm all of that work done for hing because some lucky idiot hit a full se h 69o w you hit your flush.
Stop looking at poker in terms of sessions and whether good luck or bad be define them. Start looking at the big picture and be more results oried in the long-term. And if you got your money in good and some fish made a horrible l and sucked on the river, so be it because you'll want him to make that same horrible l over and over again.
If I feel prone to ting and ting emotionally attached in a given sition I make a point to think over my decision once more, put all the money in, reload and look at a differ table as the hand ys and t try to for ab it.
In t, I am giving up the edge that the additional information (what he aclly yed t way) can give me in future hands (tgh I can of course always check the hand tory), but I am prnting t, which allows me to y better for longer.
The sitions that are m likely to cause t are mly self created. Basily what you do is you envision one result as the one you are going for (you ning, typily), you emotionally attached to that come and n if you might intelleclly accept that other comes are possible, you do prepare yourself emotionally for those other possible comes. So w they occur they sl manage to shock you and that rts the whole rollercoaster of t.
I beli the trick is to learn to be intelleclly and emotionally prepared for any of the remaining 47 or 46 cards to come h rything that ails, and to undernd how that effects your equity before it suddenly comes around and slaps you in the face h the s of a ck. I think a great way to build t resiliency is to analyse hands and sitions to a point where you more intuitively undernd how equity changes depending on what cards come. T sld remove some of the surprise elem and allow you to assess dispassionately whether your action was +EV in the first ce and bogged down in whether or the come in t particular hand gained or c you money.
As some of the more experienced people in t thread also said - if you undernd your equity against your oppons range on a given street culate h ning your 70% and ing the oppons 30% in your head and in your emotions, ignoring the acl come of the hand - t sld help tproof you. You do need to y mind-games h yourself and practice t particular perspective and technique for it to be effective, but it's a pretty important thing to do as ying on t will c you lots more money than you can earn by ying well.
Bad be are cly- sucks are profitable.
Become better at sucks and avoid bad be. You need to really push hands like backdoor flushes, gutshots and underpairs/ undercards hard in order to become the Suck King. Follog the same line of reasoning you sld fold wr you know you are in front.
On a more serious e, maybe you are pushing your edges hard enough? If you only push 70/30 sitions and folding 55/45 sitions your good hands need to hold up often to suin a profitable rate.
Couple of tghts:
- You grind and grind un you e a big pot- t quit.
- Losing feels worse than ning feels good.
- Sucks are common for fish and sharks, for TAG fish
- Everything is possible in poker. Sometimes you can e n how hard you try.
