This is something I want input on from people who actually have a solid foundation of knowledge in poker psychology. Everyone else is of course welcome to speak up too, but if you're an amateur at poker psychology like me, please say so.

It feels like poker is a game of injustices. The only thing that ever seems to happen in poker is that your pocket aces get cracked by some donkey who gets 26 offsuit and goes all in preflop and flops a straight. That's the experience I've mostly had over pretty much 100 SnGs, some with 5-minute blind levels and some with 3-minute blind levels. Nor have I always been cheated; sometimes I donkey out on others myself. A number of times I've gone into a heavy betting hand with the worse cards and have sucked out myself, sometimes eliminating what looked like a very good player who got shafted by the nature of poker, just as everyone who plays poker well seems to get shafted. It looks like, the better you are, the more you're going to lose, because the rules of poker seem to favor the fish. Because I'm far from being pro level I play poker partly to take advantage of the fact that the rules give me an edge over better players. If I got to be really good, I might quit.

Does anyone have anything to say about this? The more you know about poker psychology, the more I want to hear from you.
