What's worse.......

[liladypokerpro]

(1) Losing to a calling station on the river
(2) Losing to your own bad play
(3) Losing due to Tilt
(4) Losing with AA to any inferior hand

I'm just curious...what upsets you worst of all these and why?

Granted, it does blow when calling station just hangs around until the river only to suck out with his gut-shot after paying a few pot sized bets, but what really bothers me are those times when I make a dumbass move. Especially those where you got a strong hand, but you just know your beat (classic situation would be ace high flush vs. full house), and still pay up.

I don't mind so much knowing that I've cocked up as knowing that I did everything right and lost due to someone else's bad play.

Me personally, I cannot stand losing to the calling station... especially whe I see they were drawing for a 2 outer!!

All of them suck.

losing to my own bad play is the worst for me, I could lose my poker for days due to that, double thinking a single hand 100 times
If I was on tilt I will only wake up thinking "aye I was on tilt but it's ok now".

One of my biggest pet peeves is the calling station that will call any amount up to all-in on a paltry flush draw. I am not talking about top pair or straight and flush draw, but just a flush draw either with the initial two cards or a 4 flush at the flop.

When they call pot sized bets heads up with a 4-1 disadvantage, it raises my body temperature when the flush comes and I am crushed with a good hand. You can not bet enough to get the donks off of their draw, all you can do is move on and keep betting, making them pay for the draws that do not materialize.
