SAM_Hard8 50 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Why do so many people feel the need to post their bad beats? This stuff happens to all of us all of the time and , lets face it, it's booring. If you play a lot online like some of us do, it happens almost every day.How come nobody posts when they put a bad beat on somebody else? We all do that too!

SAM_Hard8 50 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Is there a bad beat section....if not maybe add one and it will cut down on the poo poo.Yes there is a bad beats section. I just wonder why people feel the need to share them but won't share the opposite! Link to post Share on other sites
TJ_Eckleburg 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Sometimes it's just cathartic to vent.I find that the only people who post bad beats are either new players or bad players though, so draw your own conclusions from that. Link to post Share on other sites
squirrelyfox 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 What surprises me more is that people actually READ the bad beat posts and reply to them. Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 reading bad beats sucks, taking bad beats is worse, but putting bad beats on people is awesome! i realize why people play such crappy hands because it feel awesome putting a beat on someone, just makes me laugh and laugh. but yeah, pple posting bad beats are annoying Link to post Share on other sites
Comatose_Soul 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Sometimes it just helps to post about it. I don't post too often in the bad beats section (think I started 3-4 posts.) I normally just do it when I'm frustrated - helps me calm down sometimes.My latest blog entry has a semi-bad beat story in it as well :shock: Therapy I guess... Link to post Share on other sites
knght311 0 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I'll be the first then...it's a psuedo bad beat...more like a lucky catchplaying a $100 rebuy tourny and I am very close to the bubble...low on chips and the blinds are killing me, we have gone hand to hand so the next person who drops will consolodate the tables, we are also 5 and 6 handed on the tables...I pick up 88 in 2nd position on the 5 handed table and push all in...lady on the button thinks for wahile and calls...hey I figure I am a coinflip...she turns over A-7 spades...even better!!! well the flop brings A-x-x...but two spades...shit!!! I don't have the 8 of spades either...1 out...turn 8 of GD diamonds....hell yeah, I double up and get 4th in the tourny....nice...-Matt Link to post Share on other sites
Demonikal 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 sometimes when your AAbombers are boated by 72os you feel absolutely compelled to tell someone about it...and preferably fellow poker players..so this would be the best place to "show n tell"it applies to much more than poker, for most ppl its just a natural human reaction to get some recognition for whatever reason Link to post Share on other sites
ElToasto 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Just for the record, I don't think i've ever posted a badbeat. Although, it is a good way too vent. I would much rather post it on a message board than telling my girlfriend or friends, who hypothetically could kick my azz for telling them such a pointless story. Venting is a integral part of getting over it. I personally find other ways to vent. God help my my wall. Link to post Share on other sites
