How do you know if you are a GOOD player???

[gooberqw]

What im hearing from alot of people on this question is money management. you can be a good or bad player but you have to walk away from your up. Maximize your wins, minimize your losses. if you can get your money in everytime you are ahead, I think you are a good player. And in the end, you will overcome cold decks, bad beats. I compare it to playing blackjack. The house has a statistical edge over the player but if you learn to take advantage over your betting and timing, you can endure bad shoes and profit off good ones.

Lots of facets to this question. You can be a good player and a bad bankroll manager. I always try to relate it to one of my favorite quotes that goes like this "If you were that good you wouldn't have to tell me, everyone else would tell me". And with that I just try to make good decisions get my chips in ahead and let others decide if I am good or not.

Fwiw, Ed Miller's new video on Red Chip Poker is titled "Everyone is Terrible at Poker". You can watch the first half if you sign up for a free membership.

I will know I'm good when my stats exceed Norman Chad's. Until then, I'm just another Norman Chad wanna be. :willy:

There is nothing like good player in poker. There is luckers, there is players who can play better than anyone they face no matter what, there is players who play bad and good at times. It`s all about practicing and learning from ur mistakes. After this comes "skill improvements".
