Say you go all in before the flop with a mid pocket pair, say 8-8 and get one caller. He flips over pocket queens, kings, aces, whatever. Your a huge underdog before the flop comes. Now on the flop you make a set and catch your 8. The turn is a rag and the river is an ace/king/queen to complete his set.
Here's the question:
Are you mad about this "lucky" river, even after he was the huge favorite before the flop? Or do you consider this "fair" since he truly had the better hand (before and after)?
I'd like to think I'd be the second option, but I know I wouldn't if it happened. What do you guys think?

pretty hard to be upset when your hand was a big pre-flop 'dog.

I don't usually get wound up either way anymore. I have played that many hands and had it both ways so many times that I just accept it. The only time I ever get remotely irritated is when somebody plays crap to beat me and then makes comments suggesting that he is the best player in the world. That is annoying.
