I've been told this quite a few times playing live poker. I've been playing poker for years, but just recently started to take it seriously. I try my best to stay out of marginal situations as my post flop play isn't top notch yet, and I'd like to grow my bankroll. I consistently do well, walking out of 1-3 NL games with 200+ profit. The people that say these types of things to me I notice are regulars that I always see reaching for their wallet..... They win big sometimes, but I usually see their stacks disappear before they leave the table. I don't play many hands. I evaluate everything before I play a hand. I'll even fold KQs if I'm 1 off the button, and there is a raise with some callers in front of me.... I am just now starting to slowly expand my opening range. I feel experience (the expensive lessons) are the best.
Are these people just fish? Am I a "poker bingo" player? I do not know anyone that plays poker seriously to get a feel for how I am doing. Is this something others run into as well? My gut tells me they are just fish, and are the ones actually playing the bingo, playing too many hands without thinking about anything just hoping to hit a flop, but then again I hear this pretty often......
