Well what poker is

I know you sometimes see the same people sitting at the final tables at a main event or a circuit event. But I've been playing for three years and it all comes down to the luck. The last 3 live poker tournaments around my area I have been in I have survived up until the final 2 tables and have gone in with Trips (8's, Q's) and a straight and the guy always makes a flush on the river. When I hit the trips, i bet the flop and they called. Turn is a blank, then I move all in that is about 15 grand (90% of his stack) he probably has in 10% of his stack and I know that hes on the draw) and he calls and he hits.
 
I know its bad beat stories, but it happens to me all the time. How am I suppose to make a profit!! Ahh!! haha..... will someone please help me through this!

However, don't get me wrong as tournament play takes a level of skill to make it to the final tables. Keep going after the prize and a win will come your way.   Or if you prefer, take up the slots such as Star Wars, or win bad beat jackpots like I have done on occasion, lol.

I feel you.
