The Truth About Poker

I'm starting to learn the truth about poker. I can't predict with very much certainty if I will win any given hand. Poker is about making the RIGHT PLAY at the RIGHT TIME and doing the best I can with limited and uncertain information. Poker is a long term game! It is not about this one hand or this bad beat or giving out a bad beat. It is about making the best play at every given moment to maximize my chance of winning and making as much money as possible. Sometimes I will make mistakes because I don't know what my opponents have. I'll make best guesses. Sometimes I'll get drawn out but if I consistently get my money in better then my opponents and exercise proper bankroll management I'll win more then I lose in the long run. Also, I can't control what cards come down or if my opponents get lucky but I can control how I play the game.

I would add this....if you are really just figuring out poker, bankroll management shouldn'e be too much of a concern to you.

I think I'll start a thread here about this.

Good luck....in the long term of course.

light65536, what everyone else said. Fantastic comments, attitude and realization. Good luck at the tables

Yeah, it's real good for you that you realized this because it's very important when you're handling a bad beat or maybe even when you dish out a bad beat. This all will help you NOT go on tilt and keep you at the top of your game.

Not following brm=going broke 99% of the time

I love to play poker with my friends and relatives. I lost many time. Twice i got bankrupt but now i think pokerstars are favoring me from past one year. I won all the matches that i have played. I completely agree that "Poker is about making the RIGHT PLAY at the RIGHT TIME...
