But man o man. I can't take too many more close losses like this. It's toxic for the soul. And potentially hazardous for my laptop.

For the pure adrenalin rush nothing comes close to escalating but the cat was getting hurt far too much

Ways that help me to deal with bad luck
1 Remind yourself that short term results mean nothing
2 Reward yourself for your correct play even though you lost (give yourself a sweetie)
3 When you do get a run of good luck store it in your memory then remind yourself of it whenever things go against you
4 Remember these four words
5 Just log off and take a break and go do something else
How well you can deal with bad luck is part of the challenge of playing these types of games.

I'm pretty sure we won each of those where it happened...but it didn't make it suck any less.
