Another Bad Beat Story...........F#$% You!

This is my blog and I'll post all the bad beat stories that I want to. If you don't like it then go F$#@% yourself. Just kidding. I need to vent after going through a bad stretch here. The more bad beats I get the easier the next one becomes....kind of. Or am I just numb from all the beatings that have taken place. To be totally honest, it still pisses me off. Can you tell? But, I think back a few years ago when I first started playing poker. I've come along way in handling these. One time at Band Camp, no really, one time a few years ago, I was playing a live tourney with some friends. A friend of mine sucked out on me on the river and I was so pissed off I threw my cards at her. Of course I had a few beers at the time but, my point is I would never do that today. I throw chairs now. I think the more I play the more I try to focus on the odds and statisics of how this all plays out in the long run. I know I'm a profitable player. So, I'll suffer bad beats and I'll give them out too. In the future, I see myself more capable of emotionally handling this because after I see thousands of these beats it won't seem all that bad as I see it today. When I first started playing I did not handle myself as well as I do today and a year from now I will handle myself better than I do today. It's the steps of progressing and becoming a better player. I wish I could deal with this better right now in the present but, I look to the future and I know I will be better for going through this unlucky run. I'm still way ahead money-wise for the year so, I have plenty of cushion to withstand more bad beats. But, if there are indeed poker gods.....I pray to the poker gods to have mercy on my game.
