While not agreeing with any of my answers is perfectly okay, (after all my post contains only statements of opinion and not fact), your example shows that you did not actually understand what I was trying to say there.

In my post I was talking about being surprised " mainly", or "mostly", meaning more often than not. While good players are not immune to bad beats, those do not happen most of the time by any means, actually they represent the exception and not the rule.

K8o will win agains AA about 17% of the time, on average. Let's round it to 20%, or 1 in 5. So the player holding AA will win 4 out of 5 times against K8o, and even though he will be surprised every single time of how bad the K8o player(s) were, he will most of the time win against such players, so he will be mainly surprised by how bad the players he wins against are.

I find your statement "If you are [I]surprised [/I]by [I]anything at all[/I] then you are almost certainly not experienced" quite pretentious. In my opinion there wasn't a single player in the history of poker who was "not surprised by anything".
