Discussing a subject, and crying, are 2 different things.

Even at the poker table, I dont cry when I lose. I go in with a set amount of money I will risk and play my best. If I lose that money, I get up and leave without incident.  I then reflect back on if my loss was mostly based on poor luck, or poor play. I am well aware when I play poor poker or when I am off my own "A" game that works best for me { tight/disciplined/ observant/ money management/  usually folding 90% or more hands Ive been dealt} .

Im not a begginer by any means. Been playing for over 30 years and am way ahead of the game, but only recently realized just how much the luck factor means in poker.  When a player runs good, most of the time, they have no real understanding that bad luck can come along, and make the game miserable for very long time periods.   When you sit at a poker table with 10 people, and you know that 7 of them are fish , and you have them way out skilled,  it sucks that bad luck continually gets in the way of you taking their cash.   Its easy to deal with it for a few sessions over the course of a few weeks, but when it goes on for 12 months or more at  a time, thats when a person really understands how the luck factor can be so significant in a game where many people like to claim it is a SKILL game.
