Re: Bad beats are awesome!
I just started playing again as well....I gave the game up about a year ago, as I had a ton of trouble focusing and was generally a head case duuring matches if things weren't going well.
Thinking about shots in terms of odds and expectation has helped me tremendously (I'm primarily a one-pocket player), and it also helps me in dealing with the times when an opponent makes a miracle shot. As long as I believe I made the correct decision or shot the correct shot, I'm comfortable with the outcome. I also feel like I play in a much more controlled and focused manner, which has done wonders for my consistency.
