It's the dumbest thing in the world to run off the donk because then you can kiss the money you lost to him goodbye. A lot of people say that "I keep getting bad beats." The only reason people say that is because they make a big deal out of those three losses and don't make a big deal out of the 7 wins. If you want to be good at poker you have to deal with the losses. Bad beats are a part of poker because you are never 100/0 until they're drawing dead.

I agree 1000% and know it IS my biggest weakness and biggest obstacle. I can't help but be mad when someone that had no business calling me down sucks out. Especially when it becomes an anti-rush. When it seems my luck went down the shitter. Pocket , raise 4BB called. Flop comes , . Turn , river insignificant. Caller turns over , .

Then you flop a boat on the BB and donkey kong catches runner runner boat.

Gets frustrating and a perfect poker player wouldn't be moved by it but I have a horribly bad temper. Like i said, probably my biggest hurdle right now.
