hey boss.... like others here have said, just move on. FOMO is no one's friend, ever. if you want to last, you have to be able to watch that happen without getting worked up over it. that feeling of regret for not playing the hand and frustration for "missing out" on potential chips is nothing more than greed.

the good news is that you've identified a trigger for those emotions, so you can work on doing something about it. a couple of ideas are:

write down a mantra that you read anytime that happens. (i made a good fold and that will pay me more in the long run.... etc)
establish a calming breathing routine (10 deep breaths, focusing on your breathing trying to clear your head) that you do whenever you experience this trigger and these emotions.

emotions are tricky, but if we are aware of our attitude (reaction to internal and external stimuli) then we can control our attitude, and thus control our emotions.

it is easy to say "forget about that hand and move on" but harder to actually do it. you have to deal with the problem, which is your emotional reaction to a very common and situation. anyway, hope that helps! i've personally found meditation is an awesome way to put this into practice. just have to have the discipline to actually do it when you catch yourself reacting a certain way to a certain situation.
