Just because you're a better player than someone else doesn't mean that you're entitled to 100% of the hands where you're only a 70% favorite.

Reflect on that.

70% is not 100%
30% is not 0%

The fact that a fish hits his "30% draw" 30% of the time is NORMAL.

To expect him to miss at a higher rate than that is YOUR error, not his.

Adjust your play and your expectations accordingly.

Something that is difficult to do, but fantastic to keep in mind. If someone had a 10-sided die and I lost if they rolled 1-3 and won if they rolled 4-10, that's easier to see. Or if a pitcher giving up a hit to a guy batting .300 started whining "what a suckout" I'd think he was an idiot lol.
