you also may have unrealistic expectations bout how often you will win

That's the big point. If you make a profitable crying call getting 9:1 but expecting you're good 15% of the time, you should still expect to lose 85% of the time. It may be frustrating, but it doesn't mean the game's no good or that you're playing wrong.

That too, but i was referring to his equity on the flop. vs. 3 opponents they likely had 5, 5, and 6-8 outs respectively on the flop meaning his equiity was likely 32-40% or so, so you likely have the highest individual equity but collectively you are a signficant dog to your opponents as a group.
i'm basically saying vs. a field of 3 here on any given hand you should actually be "expecting" to lose, if that makes sense.
