Our game comes equipped with heartbreaking losses, and head-spinning losing streaks...and the only players who profit, are the ones who have learned how to win the ongoing battle against their own emotions.
Unfortunately...that knowledge can take many years to aquire...and cannot be taught in any book.

.........if U are a seasoned player U can handle the 'cruelness' of the game alot better; it must be more stressful than we realize; the game can actually snatch well deserved money right from your hands.
Next time you win from a fortuitous happenstance: Tell yourself you deserve it - because you do!
