Can you learn mental toughness?

Was wondering was people's opinion is with regard to mental toughness and gambling?  Can you teach yourself this in order to control your emotions when yuo are on a losing streak? Or is it a personality type? Is it you are or your not mentally tough. Or dosen't it matter? Can someone play everyday and miss big wins and get pissed off all the time and still be the best they can be? What's your opinion?

practicing what I'm preaching, kind of

Today picked up my car after having it repaired but during the day I spent my time planning to go to the casino this evening. An thoughout the day I didn't even remember the fact I had my car in the shop. I don't know if I was in the zone for gambling or so far out of it, but either way after seeing the bill for the repair I decided I was too upset and that I didn't want to go. Why risk adding to that bill or try winning money to off pay that bill. Beacuse both are no-no's in the gambling world and even though I keep my gambling money separate I will pull occasion take money from my gambling bankroll to cover an unexpected household expense. This could be considered a no-no,  but it's probably worse if I went the other way and spent important household money on gambling. You should never gamble if your uptight about risking money and / or tired, angry or stressed for that matter so I'll sit home and relax tonight and see if I'm up to going  in the next few days. But I can still work up enough energy to go out and get a few tickets for tonight's drawing. After all, I have to see how the car is running. Wink
