Forgetting can be difficult but since everything in life is a choice ... "I choose JOY".

Anyone ever lost with a less than 1 percent chance of losing after the flop?

Oh my... hope I never go through that.

If you want to get technical, a hand can be winning until it is not. It just hasn't lost yet. The question should be 'how do you feel when you lose with a hand that appears to be winning"

If you lose to a 1 hour suck it up the next hand plays and if you're on tilt that'll be the last time you play

Тhere are some hands that I will never forget for the rest of my life, otherwise a few cigarettes and music relieve the pain.

so as not to keep thinking about this hand. I analyze the spot and I check if I made a mistake in my game. if it is not because of the decisions which I made but rather because of lack of luck. I stop thinking about it and I spend my time on another activity to clear my mind. like for example watching a series or a movie or outing and having a good time with friends.

I usually tell myself that I played well and I just had no luck. Because I had a lot of percents to win, which means that if I play 100 of these hands, then I will win more often)

Many of you say that you get angry after a heartbeat ..... I ask with tears in my eyes .... WHY? What is the benefit of getting angry? It just ruins your emotions and makes you more likely to bow down and make bad decisions. Just keep calm and have feelings of generosity and say .... There it is my friend, take it and enjoy it while you can .... You will return it to me with interest !!!!

Of course I get mad, as all of players I guess.
I stop for a little and not play the same day because I know that when you paly and being agree is not good combination.
I eat, have some drink, relax, forget about it, and when I feel relaxed again and I have clear mind, I understand that unfortunately some times can happen to win someone who does not have the winning hand because he/she was lucky. It happened to my also and of course to a lot of players.

Nothing really . I just try to shake it off and go on playing. If I feel the bad beat or suck out has affected my play, I will get up and take my mind of the game for a while.

There were offensive losses after which i smiled and played on. It doesn't matter for me what I will do, how I will behave after a loss, it is important for me to control myself and not make just one mistake, not go all-in hoping to win back. Thus, on emotions, you can lose the remaining stack and end the game in the tournament ...

If you loose, you did not have a winning hand, besides there is nothing to forget, on contrary I analyze my loosing hands, I do not treat it emotionally.
