If you keep on thinking like this you'll keep on losing. I battle it too sometimes. It can be really tough.
Having someone piss on you for the fifth time in one night can really make you mad, but you have to be confident that in the end good plays and good players will win out, and they WILL. That's what I tell myself whenever I get a bad beat. It's not about what happened this hand, it's about what will happen over the thousands of times that situation comes up during a hand and I know that I will win out over time because I'm a better player who made a better play who had the best of it. Winning is great, losing sucks, but the key is to distance yourself from the end result and focus on the way you played the hand, what you did well, what you could have done better, and focus on that. Because over time, all that matters is you make good plays and go into either/or situations with the best of it. If you manage that, you will win over time. That is a FACT.
Of course none of this applies if you actually suck at poker.
