Often what goes with bad hands is the perception of bad luck. “Getting bad hands are because of bad luck” is the belief. We even sometimes feel we are being punished with bad luck. We can even feel like we deserve bad hands and bad luck. If religious, we can believe that God is punishing us. Alternatively, that God is testing us.

These are all beliefs/perspectives (thoughts) that impact our emotional reactions and shape our behaviors. Some perspectives above are helpful. Some are creators of hell on earth.
