People there, easy?
Well, there is some time that I have reflected some things about poker in the whole, and I would like to share it here with you.
I am not the owner of the truth and I say beforehand that you feel free to disagree, argue or simply comment on this text.
I'm thinking of doing a series with more topics on the subject, this being the first. If you find this topic relevant, I will give continuity.
Why do not many people succeed at Poker?
First, what would "work out" in poker? Be professional? Craft a great tournament? Have an X% ROI in X tournaments?
In my view, "working out" in poker would simply be able to accomplish your goals in poker while still being able to reconcile them to your off-poker life. With this in mind, we have already identified some important points to answer the question.
- Lack of goals and goals inside and outside of poker.
Whatever we do in life, we need to know what we want with it, where we are and where we want to go. Knowing this, the next step is to know what to do to get where you want to go.
- Do not plan yourself, acting on impulse.
If you want to have a $ 100 bankroll, starting at $ 10, you have to plan how many tournaments you will play per day, how many days a week, how many tournaments you need to reach your goal, imagining a realistic ROI for the variant , How much time per week you will go to review your tournaments and study the variant and so on. What actually happens is that many people simply play cheering to achieve, without having a vision that goes beyond, without setting goals and without planning.
- Disorganized off-poker life.
It is necessary to organize to have room for poker. Many people who want to start on this journey sometimes do not have time for poker or just are not in a good time to add another "activity" to their daily schedule.
- Not having patience.
It is necessary to be patient. If you analyze your routine, and you see that you really have many commitments and do not have space for poker, it is healthier to have patience and wait for a more propitious moment to devote to it. It turns out that people often do not have the patience to wait, and end up not even playing 100% focused and concentrated Poker, nor do they give you other commitments of the daily routine and still blame poker for further messing up their lives. Poker itself requires a lot of patience in every way, whether at the table playing, or studying, or having the patience not to draw your winnings and wait for the right time for it and so on. It is a game surrounded by the need to have patience. If you do not have it, you can work to have it, just have willpower for it and a little patience (lol).
- Goals very distant and vague.
Goals that are too vague and far from being hit are bad because, as well as frustrating, they can detract you greatly. Example: Reach $ 1,000 bankroll in one month. OK. How do you intend to get there? What variants will you play? How much will your volume be in the month and how much ROI will you have to do to achieve the expected result? To make such a goal, you need to have a handful of tournaments or X hands to support yourself. A conscious goal is where we can see what we have already done, how we got out and leave. If I made 30% ROI on the $ 0.25 90men in 1 month playing my best and gave $ 75 in a thousand tournaments, how do I plan to make a thousand dollars in a month? A more conscious goal would be to try to do a thousand more tournaments keeping something close to 30% ROI.
- Lack of commitment.
After all this, it is necessary to have commitment. There is no point in setting goals behind goals, organizing and planning, and giving up in the first week. Many people have no commitment and end up giving up their goals. They start a diet today, but they deliver to the first piece of pizza right away. Always remember why you are doing what you are doing, if you can imagine where you want to go and stick to it, do not give up and be consistent!
I hope to see you discuss this.
Do you agree or disagree with the points raised here? In your opinion, why do not many people succeed in poker?
Hug!
