I suck at market making trading simulation games. Would a (BB) trading role be a bad fit?

In my previous internships, I’ve not done so well in those market making trading sims. Would it be a bad idea to pursue trading regardless? Will be doing an S&T internship this summer and I’m thinking about which rotations to select. Any thoughts and insights appreciated

 

The games are probably a bad indicator, but it could be more of a flow/speed issue than an actual trading issue. You could just trade a less liquid product if you are worried about the flow element
