It's the master that beats you for bringing in the paper, then gives you a mikbone for peeing on the carpet.

I have a serious answer:
- when we win, we feel that justice is served, equilibrium is maintained; everything is as it should be.
- when we lose, WTF SO FUCKING UNFAIR WHAT KIND OF DONK TWAT MAKES THAT MOVE HOW COULD I POSSIBLY BE SO UNLUCKY OMG

Perspective is king - -
When I hit my 2 or 3 outer, "I still had outs til the river!" - - when I don't, "that's poker"
When my hand holds up, "What does he expect? He only had a 3 outer!!!!" - - when it doesn't, "how can he possibly make that call?!?!?"
Sometimes I'm ahead, sometimes I'm behind, but I make $$ (ideally) by forcing villain to overpay for my cards when he really needs to be folding.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Wouldn't this train the dog to urinate on your stuff and never bring you the paper? Man, that seems twisted.

... and thus a fish is born. "Hmm the last time I made that bad call I hit the flush and got a mikbone (wtf is that btw?), I'll do it again this time!"
