Default Re: why does it hurt to lose?

It's evolution. Your brain is wired to think happy thoughts when you succeed and thing bad thoughts when you fail. Winning money is succeeding and losing money is failing.

So what you need to do is to convince yourself that succeeding has nothing to do with the outcome of a session. You should judge your success based on how you play each individual hand. Playing a hand correctly is a success and playing the hand incorrectly is a failure.
