| Am I doing well / Lucky? Ive been playing poker at bwin for a few weeks now and decided to deposit $40 in my account to get me started. Well anyway I decided to play an MTT $5+0.5 buy-in with 506 entrants, I ended up coming 3rd in the tourney winning £230! I was well chuffed because it was my first MTT. Ive played 4 $5 SnG's and came 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 6th. Do you think I could have just got lucky or was there some / a lot of skill involved? Thanks for all replies. |

You do need a bit more results until we can judge. But keep up the good work. |

| I am gonna guess both luck and skill. my sense is You obviously know how to play. You have a general idea of which cards to play, maybe how to read betting patterns or something. And you got lucky on alot of hands. heck the other day my wife played a STT that this woman just went all in from the very first hand. All in, all in, all in...... and she won. Every friggin hand. My point is, dont get too cocky. Pay attention to yourself and learn where your weak points are. That is what I am trying to do to improve my game. I think Constant study and playing will improve your game better even better than it is now. Cheers and good luck. |

| re: Am I doing well / Lucky? poker Ignore all these guys. Do keep us posted, but keep playing the way you have been till you have two or three losses in a row. Then tell us where you are. In the money 4 of 5 competitions is nothing to be messing with. Avoid the cash tables for a while, as you could lose all that in one sitting. Just my humble opinion...... |

Maybe you took it the wrong way, but I think most of the forummers meant well. Just a little reality check. downswings can really hit a new player quite hard sometimes. And I meant it when I said "good Job!" |
