Worse than merely a bad run....

[Bodhi]

...is when you're on a bad run and in quick succession (over a few minutes) a wave of junk hands that you correctly fold turn into missed straights, boats and quads. In conjunction with premium hands missing and bad beats, such an anomoly drives me insane. The effect is reinforced when, against all tempation, another marginal hand is correctly folded but comes through on the river. The one positive side is that the absurdity and quick punishment I suffer help me to walk away after losing only 25 bets.
