It's simple math. Many great bets in this game have a low probability for success, but payouts inordinately high for how often they win. Most profitable plays hit at or below 20% of the time. Therefore, downswings are standard. You're going to have them. The most satisfying emotion for players is staying true to their process and emerging on the other side, getting unstuck and realizing it will happen again, but you made it through this and will best them moving forward as well. All you have to do is make profitable plays and eventually things will fall into place. Remember, a lot of great bets miss the board. Again, standard.
