Lose money

[surfer696]

In the world of poker, the idea of losing money can be scary for new or inexperienced players. However, many experienced players know that losses are a natural part of the learning and improvement process.

When playing poker, there are a plethora of variables that can influence the outcome of a hand. These variables may include the cards in the hand, position at the table, strength of the opponent, and overall luck. Due to this complexity, even the most skilled and experienced players can lose money in a gaming session.

But how can losing money be beneficial? Firstly, losses can provide valuable feedback on a player's game and strategy. When losing a hand, it's important to review and analyze what could have been done differently. By doing so, a player can identify weak areas in their game and work to correct them.

Additionally, losses can be an incentive to study and improve a player's skills. Players who consistently lose may realize that they need to study more and work harder to improve their skills. Ultimately, losses can inspire a player to commit to their poker education and work towards long-term success.

Of course, it's important to keep in mind that losing money should not be seen as a goal in and of itself. Instead, players should strive to improve and learn from their mistakes in order to minimize losses in the future. Additionally, players should ensure they have proper bankroll management to avoid losing more than they can afford.

In summary, losing money is a part of the learning and improvement process in poker. Losses can provide valuable feedback, incentivize skill improvement, and motivate players to commit to their poker education. However, it's important to keep in mind that proper bankroll management and learning from mistakes are essential to minimize losses and achieve long-term success.

Nicely described!
I will just briefly summarize what has been said:

Poker is a variance game in which there is practically no limit to improvement ))

Agree with Belfish. Nicely described.

One thing i can add, one thing I have heard from players is how hard it is to lose money when learning the game. People should not think about it that way when learning the game. Try to think about it as the expense to learn the game. We will happily pay $40.00 for a book or $100.00 for a monthly subscription to a training site but will be upset over losing that same amount in a few months.

It is especially disappointing when we played everything as it should, but the variance was not very favorable to us. And once again, the wrong attitude towards the game comes into force, which leads to the accumulation of negative emotions, blocking higher brain functions, making suboptimal decisions, and, in the end, losing money. We get a vicious circle — losing money, due to the influence of variance, with the help of an incorrect perception of the game, can lead to even greater losses of money.

You're right, but as in all aspects of life, with good and bad experiences you learn and in poker bad experiences are called money

Of course, losses are an integral part of the game. But patient, disciplined players will always feel safe thanks to the bankroll management system. Players who work for perspective know that losses are part of the game and therefore simply ignore temporary setbacks.

According to Belfish. Well described.

D.I completely agree, after the book, after the courses, then you feel like the king who knows everything, it's time to sit at the table with money and live the experience, and then boom hahah

As my brod say, he is not throwing away money in poker but just paying the tuition fee to get better.

That's the biggest mistake anyone can make in poker. Yuri Martins, the best player of all time and of Brazilian nationality, said: Poker is a continuous learning game, that is, it's no use thinking you know everything, there will always be something to learn more... Mainly within poker where the plays are endless.

Nicely put.

I heard Daniel Negreanu say that when you're on a downswing, that's the best time to be reflective and analyze your game because when things are going right, you don't think there's anything to improve.

I'll also keep in mind the whole "paying for tuition" part of this thread. I've paid for many lessons haha

When you think not about the right decisions, but about how much is at stake and how to save at least part of the money invested in the game. The result in such cases is usually always the same: the more you worry about losing money, the more likely you are to lose every penny.The scared money effect isn't just for greedy people. It often occurs when moving to new limits. You start playing more expensive, moving and lost coin flips hit your pocket much more painfully. All professional players go through this. Therefore, this problem is more common than it seems at first glance.If a player is afraid of losing money, his approach to the game completely changes. He no longer tries to win. He tries to lose as little as possible. And this affects all his decisions during the game. In situations where you need to take risks, he will not do this, since the risk can lead to the loss of a large pot. In situations where you need to protect your hand, scared money will prefer to play safe. All moves become uncertain, panicky.
