Why are so many people who play poker so frustrated?

 

[jose_saleh]

Because they loose too much and have a goal to succed as a poker player. If you play it as a hobbie and start loosing, there's not much impact on your frustration.

 

[mr.fers_one]

because they quickly want to hit the jackpot, but instead they only lose. and they don't want to think and learn, and throw all the blame on the random number generator, not on themselves.

It depends on what the poker player's goals are: to play for fun or to make money from poker. In the first case, I don't think many players are frustrated, as they don't set any high expectations from the game. In the second case - yes, there are a lot of frustrated players, because poker is played by millions of people, and win dozens of people. Just like the lottery, for example.

Everybody wants to be a professional poker player, but nobody wants to lose any money.

More people lose than win, this can be very frustrating. Nobody enjoys being a loser.

As obvious as it sounds, losing money ain't fun.

So, if you're having a bad session, poker is not a fun game to play

Why are so many people who play poker so frustrated?

Because they either suck at playing and blame it on rigged sites or cheating, are in a downward spiral or I guess they bring private stuff onto the table

 

[A kiravio]

I am very frustrated when I make mistakes, being convinced from the beginning that I am not doing well. I always end up at odds between logic and everything else.
Making the same mistakes over and over again is very frustrating, especially if you're also losing some pennies.

 

[arshuns]

If you play for money, you have to be ready for disappointment. Because only a few players win big money.

 

[choprav]

Gamblers who lose, not poker players

 

[dregan]

Because very few players constantly win and a large number of players constantly lose money.

 

[ghitocarcia]

because they do not have enough mental strength to be persistent in the game, nor the discipline to make long-term plans, since in the short term nothing will be achieved, and they do not understand that the variance sometimes when one is starting out plays many times. a devastating role that often makes those who are new to the game leave it precisely for that reason

 

[TeUnit]

I think a lot of people get frustrated because they think they are playing correctly, when they are not.

So they expect what they believe to be rationale play to work and become frustrated when it does not.

 

[Cooking]

I think people only get frustrated with poker because they have high hopes that they are going to win an easy money playing poker and that's definitely not true. Of course when you start, it's ok to have high hopes because you don't know much about the game. But after a few months, every player know that is not easy to be a profitable player, specially in higher stakes.

 

[wrzlbrnft]

In a tourney there is only one winner, the rest of hundreds or thousands players gets busted. And getting busted is frustrating...

 

[Dimidrol2]

Millions are playing and there is only one winner, which is why there are so many disappointments, but that moment of winning the tournament is priceless.

 

[aissam18]

Because you play 20 tournament and cash 2 or 3

 

[navicula]

The financial pressure of losing money...

[nelomec]

[kabokinha]

People tend not to regulate expectations

 

[km1n]

Some people lose and dont know how to handle emotions and just rage or cry
