So long as this is your mentality (Google 'fixed vs growth mindset'), poker won't be for you. Nor will many things in life since, unless you're unnaturally gifted, most things worth doing are difficult to master.
Why should winning at poker be any different?
If every loss or mistake prompts thoughts like the above, instead of thoughts like, "Wow, that sucked, but now I've learned not to do that, and am thus a better player than I was yesterday," you will not do well in a game like poker where even
perfect play can often result in leaving with less money than you came with.
But at the end of the day, it's math. If you learn to make profitable decisions and play with proper bankroll management,
you will win. Or do you think all the winners are lying?
