It's a shame we were stuck with this thought because in poker and in everything you do in life, success is always more related to how hard you try to achieve your goals, even if it takes longer than expected to get results.

Poker is a game. It's for everyone. Play at the level that is right for you.

Every time I lose a bankroll formed after winning a prize in a freeroll I think that poker is not for me. But time passes and I again actively play, but over the years I noticed that I play less and less. And I'm not particularly serious about what happens at the table. Very often I merge tournaments without a serious struggle and it does not bother me anymore.

in poker not everything is simple, there will be days even months when you will not win anything! , but it's about being constant and not giving up learning from mistakes and taking things in stride, if you always thought to be victorious from poker let me tell you that you are in place and the wrong game

There are a lot more losers than winners.

the mathematics is that clear ... for example in a tournament of 1,000 players there are 999 losers and only one winner .... those 999 players suffered from BadBets, SlowPlay, etcetc

Like ten times a day every day. The thought comes up, because I'm the unluckiest guy in life you've ever seen. But then I get back to the tables because I looked up somewhere here in the forum, that luck doesn't exist. Guess what: they are right!!!

If you, instead of getting frustrated, decide to face losses as usual and move on studying, your mindset will be poised for success.

This is why I love this forum, for inspirational posts like this.

I already know this but it still gets me motivated to play better and study even more. :D

I always thought that poker is my strong element. I liked to solve problems since a was a child, and poker for me is like solving problems. I just have to find how to untilt myself and be a profitable player.

I'm lying if I say that I did not attend such an idea. But then the black band ends and life gets better))

I got self banned from cash games and i'v been doing pretty good, no major wins yet but that is in the cards. Play at your level even micro tournaments are just as fun as Million dollar tournaments. serious.

Even though I don't play well I think poker is for me because of the joy I get from playing it. Even though it drives me through the roof sometimes, it truly is one of my favorite games and I absolutely love it.

With the loss of another bankroll sometimes I have the idea that poker is not for me. But the love of poker wins and I continue to play.

for many poker players the difficulty in reaching the first place is the path of several years. Fighting your weaknesses is not a fight with rivals, so you need willpower.

I never thought so, because there is a goal in front of me that is broken into subgoals, and I will achieve it at any cost ... and I believe that my goals in poker will be achieved :)

I have never had such bad thoughts. With each hand, I'm more and more assured that poker is made for me. Perhaps in the future a cruel blow to fate will make me change my mind. But now is blooming with a positive.

Ehm... nope. Never. Why you should have such weird thoughts at all? Is bigger problem to force yourself to take a pause from poker. Hehehe.

I did not think about such thoughts, I learned how to play and now I just play and win but sometimes I lose, but I try to get good results and achieve good goals!

Many people say that poker is something for them to pass the time, soon these people do not get an evolution in their game, other people say they study poker and their strategies, but they can not win in poker, other people, but this time in a smaller amount, are the winners in this wonderful game, so where are the error of these that can not win ????
It is lack of interest, lack of commitment, and we know that without these two tools, we are moving towards defeat
