I think all poker players can handle getting rivered when the outs are available, but the runner runner result is what gets people pretty pissed. They happen but not with the percieved reality online

I've been in very few "runner, runner" incidents in person.
Online, different bowl of wax.

And I definitely agree with you about players accepting the river beats when facing multiple outs. Phil Hellmuth being the exception.

The TV guys are a bunch of garbage, they should be getting paid as actors. When I played in one of the events last year ($1500 NL Holdem), some of them were professionals, some were jerkoffs and some were actors.

I sat and played with Young Phan(http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/pl...gecolor=FFFFFF) and bluffed the living **** out of him.

It was a great experience and I am trying to figure out a way to sit again because if you hit two hands early, you can COAST. I lasted 8 hours and I took a REAL bad beat when I had TT and another had JJ, I overplayed them pretty bad
