The worst is when you have a small pair, call a raise from a super tight player, hit a set, put him on AA, and proceed to milk him until an A falls on the river. Then you play a game of denial and put all the rest of your money in against what you are subconsiously almost sure is AAA.

Everyone folding to your AA pre-flop bet, then the next hand watching 7 people all call an 8xBB bet when you're holding 56s out of position and fold and the board ends up 234AK rainbow.

Going along with that: despite bluffing many hands and taking down numerous small pots (showing the bluffs after raising w/rags), you still get no action with your good hands.

when your tables overlap just so that the fold button of one is in the same place as the raise button on another, result: instead of folding J6o on one table, you accidently reraise allin with J6o on another when it suddenly pops up. i once threw away the nut flush on the river in a heavy pot due to this....saweeeet.

Last night I lost connection just after raising in LP with 55. I had two callers. I came back in time to see the flop of K5x. At that point is just folded me out to the PS bet from EP because I didn’t have sync or something. I watched as they both went AI on the turn. Bugger me, two pair took it. I quit for the night as my connection failed twice more after that.

 Holding AA and everyone folds to you in the BB.

LOL @ accidentally folding AA preflop.

LOL @ blue balls.

Loosing to a flush runner runner is a good one once all $$ is in on flop.

Staying up until the birds are singing and still being down a couple buy-ins.

Running into AA w/KK.

Flopped low straight vs. high straight.

Set vs. overset.

Boat vs. bigger boat.

Flush vs. bigger flush.

Pair vs. higher pair....

Loosing with quads.

Loosing with straight flush.

Dropping levels.

Loosing to donk players then trying to get it back only to realize that you are the donk.

I could go on forever.

I hate poker...
