Not Every Loss Is a Mistake

A player can lose a big pot in a hand of poker and not have to bother with figuring out what they did wrong. There is a recent story from a Vegas casino. During the game of Holdem, seven players saw the flop, five saw the turn, and three remained in the hand long enough to see the river. Two of them were driving the action. They were raising and re-raising each other at every chance. Neither of them would budge, and they both probably thought they had the best hand. By the time it got to the end they were lucky a slap fight didn't break out.
