rejection, failure and bitterness

This can occur in any field any spectrum, but
in the world of poker its easily quantifiable.
Failure, amounts to a dwindling bank roll. It
is easy to see. There are 2 reasons for failure
in poker, one is a lack of skill and the other
is luck. The second is beyond your control,
but for a lot of people the second (luck) is
what controls a person's skill. When your running
hot, the decisions u make seem to be better as
well, and when things are running bad, you
can get caught chasing. Its hard to tell, but
its important to know whether its skill or luck
which is the root of the problem. Most of the
time i can confidently narrow down poker failure
to luck.

Bitterness is often caused by someone else's
success/failure. Its like in Seinfeld, when Elaine
is bitter about George getting married. I seemed
especially bitter on Saturday.

1. I had to watch the crows incompetent shooting
performance lead to a narrow defeat to Brisbane,
nothing worse than having to watch the entire game to
see them just lose.
2. At this party Brad invited us to, I ended up talking
to this reasonably attractive girl, whom i forgot her
name in the first 2 seconds. Then everything i said
got twisted around and back fired. And then she
was going out with some dweeby guy anyway. The
Brunatex t-shirt was recognisable, which was kinda
a surprise.
3. Went out to the grace. Apparently c0 has found
blissful happiness, i mean wat is the world coming
to. Not that im not happy for him, but ffs, you
cant be serious.
4. The girls i was hanging out with were merely
wallpaper.
5. Chad picked up in his stupid wig, my stupid russian
hat yielded nothing, not that by then i was even remotely
interested...

Unlike poker this had nothing to do with luck...

give c0 a break, he's been waiting for this to happen for about 6 years (that's a conservative estimate).

then 2 days after it finally "happens", he has to go to NZ for 4 weeks.
