RE: A Poker Paradox: Sometimes Winning Can Hurt More Than Losing

in #money8 years ago (edited)

I didn't reallly delve into the long followup after the tournament, but after I busted I was happy when certain people busted quickly after me: Jordan Rich finished 5th after being chipleader by playing a hand really terribly. His pain soon after my bustout gave me a little solace. And it's an extremely common feeling in poker to hate on and root against others and be happy when they fail when you are in direct competition with your opponents.

Alright, now it makes sense lol.
