OP, did you put this in the psychology section because you were wondering if somehow your subconscious is putting you in these unlucky situations (or situations where you have a better than average chance of being unlucky)?

I think this affects all sorts of people. It is better to not go through life being depressed and a victim of bad luck. Life is too short and it is simply not worth it. Find out about how to make +ev decisions not just at cards but in all of your actions and you will start running good. The people that do the best aren't always the best they just put themselves in the most situations where they have a chance to succeed. If you play cards this way you will win in the end and your luck will certainly improve (or at least seem to).
