Default Re: I\'m way too competitive

I have the same problem for sure. Winning just feels right, and losing feels like punishment for existing. The best thing I do for myself is to convince myself before I begin playing that I thoroughly understand the huge swings, and that one session is essentially meaningless.

Whatever happens, happens. In any given session, you may lose every hand. If you won every time because you're better than most players, that would mean there are players who lose every time (not to say there aren't already). They would quickly quit the game because they can't find anything using their selective memory that is positive about playing poker.
