Default dealing with what\'s delt

this is a completely new feeling for me, the frustration is overwhelming. bad beats, lucky draws, splitting huge pots all of these are the worst part of the game. I've been experiencing the worst elements of the game in large amounts over the last week. my straight (heads up) just got busted by a one-card higher straight. I split my trip aces pot with another player at the casino yesterday. My AQo (hot and cold) got taken down by K9s flush on the river. my all-in two pair was busted by trip 8s on the river. All of these things make me want to pursue a more stable hobbie. One that I can win %90 of the time. I mean, even the best players brag about getting to the final table 3 or 4 times in their lives! We're not even talking about winning, we're talking about getting not-first! The better player doesn't always win, this is very distressing.
How does one overcome this fact? That the better player doesn't always win?! How do you make yourself feel better about playing again when you know that you can get busted by a hand that is statistically worse than yours? One recent thing is that the hand that I have that I am dominating in are taken out by the smaller pair. that's another frustrating element. I play so often. I see these things every tourney I play in, all the time!! Not just to me but everywhere! How do the pros adjust to these situations? I'm not talking about suck-outs. Let me repeat, I am not talking about suck-outs. I am talking about hot and cold heads up. When a player is averaging 20 hours of poker a week, I understand that I'm going to see a lot of bullshit but how do the pros overcome busting out of a $100 multi when they KK and some dude nails his straight 23o on the river? Again, I'm not talking about suck-outs, I think suck-outs are partially both players fault, that is not what I'm talking about. I want to know about LUCK, how do people deal with changing and bad luck!!?

thanks
