Default Re: I think we fear it can all go away...

there is no such thing as a bad beat, only bad plays and bad reactions. The lesson in your KJ scenario is how to learn how to react to loosing the hand. To learn that ANYTHING can happen, and does. I learned this from a hand where I held JJ the flop came JJA, then A-Q goes all in, I call, turn A river A. Did I do the right thing? of course. But I learned that I can do everything correctly, I can play perfectly and lose. I am not supersitious about playing JJ. I concentrate on making the correct decision at every opportunity. If that is your goal instead of winning, the winning will come.
