Winning

There is an old poker maxim that goes like this:

Poker players like winning more than losing, but playing most of all.

If I recall correctly I first read this in a book that was advising players to keep the mood happy at the table, because if people are happy they won't notice losing their money to you.

I just got back from my hockey game and I like losing way more than winning. Maybe my order is winning, playing, losing.
