Illustrative hand
Editorial note: Public coverage of Han Feng's exit does not include recoverable card/runout facts we can verify, so we do not invent a "documented" bad-beat board.
What to practice instead: Separate process from variance. 1. After a brutal exit, review whether the decision was correct — not whether the deck cooperated. 2. Rebuild confidence with concrete spots in the equity calculator and pot odds. 3. Rehearse pressure hands on today's spot or in the library until the next session feels mechanical again.
The news is the bad beat; the training takeaway is emotional control + decision quality — without fabricating cards.
