....... because many people play bingo instead of poker. Disappointment is a consequence of a lack of bankroll management, discipline and patience. Luck is of course also important, but luck is not the only factor that determines your progress as a player. In order not to feel disappointed, just try not to play with junk :)

people who are frustrated are people only looking for big profits and not enjoying the game IMO

Maybe because only one player can win a tournament. Everyone else can be named a looser.

Yes, there are a lot of poker players and everyone wants to win and earn big money and they want it very easily, but it's easy not to do it, and many people don't watch it, they go to play big, then they lose after which people get angry and so many players and everyone wants to win so if you lose, don't be mad

Because you've got to be patient. Many just slam all in the moment they have 2 high cards.

Because most people are not professionals, they play as a pastime, it's their hobby.
Anyone who has a regular job, family, and life cannot necessarily rule out their successes/failures in other areas of life while playing poker. I have also sat down to play when I was stressed due to other areas of life (e.g. work). But frustration can come from many other things.

poker requires dedication, to study and grind, but people are not willing and that's why they get frustrated!

Because a lot of people overestimate their abilities in this game. Using my example, I can say that when I started playing I thought it was very easy and simple. And as it turned out, it is almost impossible to achieve success in poker without knowledge and practice. I also heard that, according to statistics, only about 30 percent of players play plus money.

Because in all tournaments only 15% - 20% of people enter the payouts, imagine the other 80% lose their money! poker is for those who endure it and have patience and get used to losing and winning

Because they're losing and they can't understand it. Their expectations are too high and any failure only negatively affects them.

Poker can be frustrating due to its inherent uncertainty and the influence of luck. Skill is important, but outcomes are not always within a player's control, leading to frustration when unfavorable results occur despite strategic play. Additionally, the pressure to manage emotions and make optimal decisions under uncertainty can contribute to frustration in poker players.

In my opinion, individuals who are frustrated are often those solely focused on chasing big profits rather than genuinely enjoying the game.

Poker can be a very frustrating game you can play the best poker possible and still loose in the short run that can drive you nuts,hopefully in the long run you will be rewarded for good play

I can't speak for others, but I imagine that happens when your results don't match your expectations, or when you feel pressured to perform. I'm aware of what I lack, and I don't rely on poker either, so I find it hard to get frustrated. But I think it could easily happen to me under a different context.

Poker can be very frustrating and very rewarding . It’s a hard way to make easy money And some people do not realize this. Takes much study to elevate your game and even playing perfectly things still may not go well.

Sometimes it happens that when we lose a lot and we do not control our emotions we get frustrated and that is worse, we know that in poker the results are long term, you can have a bad day, even weeks, but we know that in the end the results will be be different if you are aware that you are doing your best to do so.

Because they lose money, they think theyre good players but to be a good player you have to study and have a coach, be persistent.
