Since I obviously want EVERY card I bid on, it "irks" me to lose no matter what the motivation of the high bidder. The famous horse player of a hundred years ago, Pittsburgh Phil, said that the gambler, of necessity, must have ice water in his veins. Or "inner peace" I suppose. Same applies here. Not that I'm any example: see the holes in the wall above my computer from my head after losing bids, as evidence.
