It's hard to keep track of things like that in video poker. I keep
track of my winnings in a note book when I play, like how many quads,
full houses, flushes, and straights, but not how many losses in a
row. Most people want to forget things like that. We all seem to
remember our big wins, but very few want to remember their big
losses.
A few thoughts on losing from my files:
"Watching others lose is sad. Watching ourselves lose is tragic."
--VP Pappy
"If you only do this one thing, it will set you apart from the rest
of the glassy-eyed gamblers found in casinos. SET LOSS LIMITS!"
--VP Pappy
"One of the hardest things to do when you're gambling, is to listen
to a winner who hasn't a clue how he did it." --VP Pappy
"I know one guy who decided to hate Neil Diamond because he was
winning and as soon as "Cracklin Rosie" played over the sound system,
he started to lose." Bob Dancer
"Never fall in love with anyone who can't afford to lose."
--Ashleigh Brilliant
"If you've lost every penny you brought to gamble with, that might be
a good time to leave." --Frank Scoblete
"Some people feel better when they can think of a reason why they
lost." --Jean Scott
"Fear begets doubt. Doubt begets indicision. Indicision begets
losing. Losing begets fear." --VP Pappy
PS: Still haven't found a publisher for my JOKE-TIONARY of POKER
book. I'm talking to a couple publishers now, but nothing concrete
yet.

So, video poker is a job for you? How can you enjoy it if you have to
catalogue every hand over 3 of a kind.

You miss the big picture. Foremost, if such an activity is "work" to
a player, they aren't likely to engage in it.
There are a number of motivations for various forms of play tracking
that make it rewarding, ranging from mere curiosity or perhaps a side
diversion, to a desire to have a more intuitive understanding of the
mechanics.
I'll suggest that one thing to factor is that the more intimate feel
you have for the game, the more strongly your play decisions will be
to your benefit -- among things I'm talking about are decisions re
games, denominations, appropriate bankroll, where to play, and under
what promotions/benefits ... all of which are managed to yield the
most satisfying experience.
