I had quite a few opportunities that game, was able to do squeeze plays, 3bet etc etc, so that was nice, just had horrid luck at the end when it counts the most.

This article is good man, the biggest downfall of poker players in my experience is depression or anger. I have 2 friends that I consider to be the best poker players i've seen online or live.
Player #1 was a winning player at 100-400NL, and 2-4, 5-10 limit razz. He recently quit poker due to the anger issues of variance. He is now a math tutor and much happier.

Player #2 currently is a HORSE player at 200-400 limit with a WSOP bracelet on his arm. I watched him play a hand where he lost $6500 in razz when the guy sucked out on 7th. His reaction was "ahahahahahaha thats hillarious! oh well next hand!"

Staying optimistic is one of the most important benefits to the game. A happy player has such a better edge.

True. Some players get mad at a donk play getting lucky but over all they make losing plays which help the solid players win more readily. I think it is a good idea to try not to react in a negative way towards these types of players as we want them to continue to play. In the short term it can be frustrating to play them but in the long term profitable.

Keeping your cool is better for your own health and enjoyment.
