How do you handle a bad beat?

I thought this was amusing. The following is a part of a chat I had with one of the regulars in my homegame. He missed the cashgame following the tourney. I was telling him about how I lost my first buy-in when my opponent came from behind on the river:

Skip: i can just picture doing what you always do after a bad beat
Skip: you shrug, lean back, and look around your apartment for something that isnt there
Skip: and let out a sigh
Skip: its always the funniest
Skip: compared to my 'he cant beat me with skill, he should fucking die'

I chuckled when he told me this... I hadn't noticed it, but that's my normal reaction.
