I'm going to puke (warning, bad beat post)

Despite the fact that I've won money pretty consistently over the past year online, I hate the swings and the bad beats from terrible players. No doubt, there are many things that I could improve in my game, but it's the psychological stress of it all that broke my will to continue playing so seriously. I know a lot of people here can sustain it, but I cannot. I may play to clear some bonuses in the future, but I need to take poker much less seriously in my life if I am going to enjoy it.

The origin of my problem is that I'm extremely competitive when I play games. I insist on winning every time and can't even think of going easier on inexperienced players or people I like (whether I'm playing chess, poker, or whatever...). This drive caused me to do the necessary and unnatural things for winning long-term at poker, but the short-term losses to people playing badly drives me insane.

I can understand that. It can be a brutal game. Good luck to you.

A real bad beat is when some shmuck CAPs you preflop and you hold AA.

The flop comes Ah Kc Ks and the dumbass CAPs the flop on you.

Then a 3h comes (rainbow) and the schmuck is still trying to bet and raise your full house.

Then the river comes a 4h and he still keeps betting. At this point you feel perhaps he actually does have KK for the quads and you are prepared to take the beat and say "nh". Instead the chump reveals 4h 2h for the steel wheeel and cackles in glee... all you can think about is 100 ways to strangle him.

Now thats a bad beat with idiot sause added in.

MP1 shows 88 for two pairs, eights and fours
Button shows 77 for a full house, sevens full of fourse
Hero shows 66 for a full house, sixes full of sevens
