When Will I Win?

Tonight is our night to get together and to play Pinochle. We've been playing for more than ten years. It's been at least two years since I've won a game. I've come close very often, coming in a close second. I'm beginning to wonder if and when I will ever win a game again. Two of our friends play at home every night during the week. They have been walking away with the miniature trophy every time we play. Part of playing cards is strategy, but most, I think is luck. Needless to say, I'm not lucky at cards. I'm happy to say that, thankfully, the rest of my life has been better.
