I'm in late position with 3h 5h. There is 4 callers in front of me and I actually consider making this call but I'm not drunk enough to play this lose. Anyway, the flop comes x 4h 6h. And now I'm praying that one of my 2 jackpot cards don't hit. The turn comes a blank and the river hits a 7 of hearts. I look at the jackpot board and see Straigh Flush for $701. I was sick to my stomach for the rest of the night and lost about a rack and a half.

I would have gone to the bathroom as soon as that flop hit and not come out until the hand was over. I don't want to know things like that.

playing online, I usually manage to forget the cards as soon as I fold them. Help me keep my sanity and tight game

This is why I always have a 2nd table to pay attention to. I hate seeing these things hit.

No you wouldn't. Diamond you and I both know you would have played that hand. Probably even raised with it pre-flop and then sucked the living hell out of other players chips...just admit it...

Admittedly, i've never had a situation quite that bad, but what are the odds of this happening????? (anyone???)
Surely it's more than the money you would of won.
I know it's hard, but look at it as an investment, after all, you would of lost more money chasing this hand over the last ??? years

Exactly. If your not willing to play it everytime, don't sweat it.
