| re: Poker and...golf Being a student of the game of golf for many years, I definitely see many resemblances between the two. golf/poker: If you made a mistake last hole/hand, forget it and move on - you can not reverse time so what's done is done. Don't try to make up strokes/lost money for it next hole/hand by playing more aggressive. If you played/bet the hole/hand perfectly and got a bad bounce/unlucky flop-turn-river, don't make the bad luck change how you play the same shot/hand next time you face the same situation. If you are in trouble, bail. Don't try to get even more aggressive to get out of a tight situation. |

| I need to remember this. Unlike my golf game my poker is eratic, especially after a bad beat, I tend to try and force the cards when angry, thankyou for the golf analogy I will try to keep that in mind and play my same game all the way through and let you know how it works. IT'S EASIER TO LOSE IF YOU DON'T FOLD!!! |

| re: Poker and...golf I really enjoyed reading this, and it all makes a lot of sense to me. Poker must be one of the few games where as a newbie you can sit at a table with the best in the world(if you have the money!), and hold your own.(To a certain degree!) Imagine(for you americans!), playing football with your son on a summer's afternoon, and then the following day playing in the superbowl, or for us europeans, having a kickaround and then appearing in the World Cup the next day. It will never happen! But all of us have a chance, however small, of sitting down at a table next to the likes of Ivey, Hellmuth, etc, at the WSOP, and whipping their asses! because we know we can, on a good day! |
