My worst stress situation in poker and yours?

In this game there's always stress, but my worst moments came when the cards just weren't runnin' my way and the chips were fading fast. Had a heater going for days at one game, thought I was bulletproof. Next hand, ace-king offsuit, gets raised three times. Call. Flop ace high, check-raise. Turn jack, bet triple pot. River blank, all-in. Heart sinkin' as he shows pocket six-six. Board pairs, he cleans me out.

The despair and frustration felt like a kick to the gut. Sometimes you just gotta walk away when you're seeing shadows and the bad beats seem personal. Take a deep breath, remember it's just cards and the spot will come again. But in that moment, losing it all on one hand sure did put my spine through the grinder!
