You're in an online game with a good hand, say AQo, in late position. You tell yourself that you are going to raise pre-flop unless the guy on your immediate right who is a super rock raises. In this case, you will fold.

So, you wait and then the super rock raises. You fold.

Immediately after this sequence of events, are you more likely to:

a) Be slightly pissed that you got a good hand, but you can't play it.

b) Be happy the super rock is on your right, which saved you money against his AK, AA, KK, QQ.

c) Total indifference.

This falls into the same category as getting a hand UTG that would be playable only on the button, and properly folding it. One should not be any more dramatic than the other. As such, it is rightly in psych. Having emotions about a play that is clearly correct is -EV. (Assuming the play is correct, of course.)
