Frustrating yes. Quitting no!
I get frustrated just like anyone else with the game and it’s ‘variance’. But that is poker after all. When I take a bad beat, especially at the worst time, I get really upset. But I just have to take a little break. Thankfully I’m only a recreational player or I might take it worse. I play a lot of online poker since Covid so ‘variance’ is always raising its ugly head at some point during a game/tournament. I never consider quitting though. I am a highly competitive person who grew up playing sports all through school and college. Now that I’m older poker gives me an outlet for that competitiveness. And I never gamble with money I can’t afford to lose.
