Here is the honest truth.....Most of us are LOSERS!!! I have played for fourteen years online and I am a LOSER> Do you cling to the idea that you are going to win big in one of these tournaments but always lose no matter if you play 1% of your bankroll. At what point do you accept you are an idiot ? When does a person accept they are losers?
unfortunately you are right, especially in that every player has a hope inside that he will one day win a major tournament, this is the main motivation in poker

You will still win, this happens very often in cash gamers, which is quite strange, that these things happen in series, over several days and weeks, it's like the system wants you to lose. Plays that you have around a 95% chance of winning you end up losing in the end.

Sure, you're losing most of the time but hopefully you will win enough to get ahead.

If I'm going to consider how much money I won vs the time I had spent playing (vs how much I could have won if I decide to have another job in my field) then yes I'm definitely a loser. But I don't want to work more than I do now. I want a stress-free life and I want to have free time for my hobbies and time to physical activity and for my mental health.

You are not the only one, there are many of us. But seriously, why do you want to win big, try to win not large amounts but often

We need to remember why we started playing the game in the 1st place, It was not about winning lots of cash or winning big tournements or being great professional players. We played the game because it was fun and we enjoyed it. Poker is a exciting game that we can all have a chance to play with one of the to players in the world and ever could win a bracelet on one hell of a great day.

Dont think about yourself as a loser. Just play for the enjoyment of the game

I believe you are on a few losing streaks and this may have made you a little frustrated, try taking a break from poker for a while.

I think I'm a looser too, if I think like you. However, I play poker for the sake of the game, if I lose, I move on to the next game. He doesn't wear it. Sometimes it annoys me if I don't do it right and I'm quickly eliminated, but the card movement also matters a lot. Sometimes I fall out at the beginning, but often I make it to the end.

Took you this long to figure it out? I knew you were a loser the first time I read one of your posts.

Put some of the energy into becoming a better player instead of holding onto some whim of greatness. OR... just be a loser.
PS - I'm a HUGE Loser. Some of my friends call me 'Lou'... short for Loser. But I'm only a loser because I choose to be a loser.

As a joke, you can answer yes, of course, a loser, he lost there, he also lost there, he lost something everywhere.
Positive thinking leads to the results we dream about much better.

It happens mate but it doesn’t mean you are a loser. As others mentioned maybe you had a mental breakdown or a Tilt, but this is part of our long term process of achieving self control.
Keep studying and if you really love poker, never give up! I’m much more loser than you are and I tell you to never retreat, never surrender, have faith in your work and the time will bring you joy and success!
Take me as an example, I went to live in the streets, became a beggar, lost friends, family, computer, cell phone, I can’t even play poker now, but I do own a cellphone and I have faith it will work it out for me!
I have absolutely nothing so I’m the big loser. But I’m striving, I see a hard path ahead because I’m nearly 41 years old but I tell you: love yourself and put effort and discipline, and forget about time, let it take it 20, 30 years the most important thing is that you are alive and fighting.
I believe in you, so all you have to do is being to believe in yourself!
All the best regards to you mate and let the chips fall as they may!
Nice words!

We lose a lot, indeed. But winning a single game can make you a winner, so never give up (unless you are in a mental breakdownd or financial difficulty). I think working our patiance is one of the most valuable learnings in poker.

I will never be a loser, I only play freerolls, I don't sell anything, so I can't lose, now winning is another story.😁🤣

If during the 14 years you mentioned you didn't manage to make a profit... It does not mean that you are a loser... It means you are doing something wrong... And you need to figure out what it is and do it differently... Whether choose a different format, whether improve your game predictability, increase or decrease your playtime... You'll figure it out, I'm sure.

I can adopt a growth mindset and focus on improving my skills instead of labeling myself as a loser. adjusting my expectations can help me enjoy the process of playing the game and recognize that there's always room for improvement :ninja:

Of course not, that's why we study and work hard every day to be competitive and win with this game, hopefully this will serve as motivation for everyone.

Hahahahahahahaha if I say that I am a winner I would be lying, I hope soon to be able to reverse my situation, there is still a little hope, I am comforted by the fact that there are people who play worse than me and that most of my losses have been bad beats and in terms of lost money it's not much, most of my losses have been betting on casino games and sports betting. I hope I can learn enough in the forum to improve my game and be able to become a winner.
