I did not feel a shred of anger after this hand, maybe a little sense of irony, but no anger. If this didn't make me angry, then maybe my new efforts to keep my cool are showing progress.

Did you show your hand to the table?
If you answered no is it only because you had the auto muck option selected?
At a B&M table would you have felt the need to show the table the injustice you had suffered?

You felt the need to show us, so if it didn't anger you it would seem you feel the need to extract some value from it that you feel you are owed.

Sorry to be a jerk but I see this often and I also suffer from it.

I raise AA UTG and everyone folds so I show it. Why? There is nothing to be gained. I do it because I want sympathy to replace the value I feel cheated out of. I should be happy my AA won. And not show the table my raising standards.

I think controlling anger is a good first step. And posting here for the sympathy is ok also, we all feel for you in this hand. And our sympathy is free. Just don't look for sympathy at the tables it's never free. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

There wasn't any need to show because everyone knew what I had anyway.

I would have saved 2 bets on the river there, but no biggie. I can't see him having anything other than, the other AA, or TT. Good luck with the control I suck.
