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.

nice.

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.;)

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.

I love to play poker with my friends and relatives. I lost many time. Twice i got bankrupt but now i think stars 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...
