It happens to everyone I assume. When I get to the stage of even thinking 
about posting to here about it, I stop for the night and have a cold one. If 
I am feeling better the next day, I play again.  I only learnt to do this 
over the last week or so, and I'm sure I'll get riled enough to go against 
my better judgement.

I'm  running hot at a table full of idiots at the moment. They have the kind 
of image Id probably get at  a 2.5-5 NLHE table. I have made notes on three 
of the players already. You tend to remember the bad ones. I am trying to 
keep the memory of the guy I just played calling  my AsQs dollar  50 pre 
flop raise along with most of the table. I was MP checked to me with  2 
spades and a Q on flop (not paired)  I bet pot size, Called by two player. 
Third spade hits on turn, its Ks  I have nut flush. I check next guy bets , 
next raises, I call, guy to my left folds. I guess this guy must have AK or 
AQ so I push the river which is an Ace He calls and is all in with A3 off. 
\o/

That's one to keep in an easily accessible bit of my memory next time i get 
a bad beat.
