When I get a bad beat in a big game it's usually not a 'bad beat.' If I have QQ and I lose to AK, whatever, shit happens. If it's folded to me on the button and I raise with A5(I will raise almost every time with anything here) and I get called and flop top pair and lose to middle pair making two pair or trips on the turn, so be it, he knew I was blind-stealing and had to think his middle pair was enough, these don't upset me at all.I agree, most of the bad beats that happen are mostly from the player allowing others to draw, everyone tries to get so cute with top two pair when the flop is AK9, good job letting every single straight draw take a free card. Being aggressive isn't always leading either, if you know someone will bet, checkraise, even on the flop, make it expensive, do different things, switch it up.When I get a bad beat in 20-40 or 30-60 it's usually just 'whatever, I'll get the money back soon, no big deal'.Learn to get over it, or keep track of how many bad beats you've given, why you justified it, and don't give others to make those justifications when it's the other way around.
