I admire your ability to laugh off any bad luck but that is an emotional weakness of mine, I'm finding frustration gets too much and I am allowing the game to bring the worst out of me, so it is time to put an end to it by getting myself out of that environment. The very high variance in results despite trying my best leaves me wondering what the point is. When I get over 70% in one session then 36% in the next session with the same partner it all seems pointless. There are parallels with allotment gardening where I started off getting decent productivity during the first few years but have since had seven consecutive years of very poor cropping, the UK's weather frequently throwing out locked in weather patterns which play havoc with my seedlings through drought or slug infestations from prolonged wet periods, and as such I am considering if it is worth the effort any more.
