It makes us experienced. Winnings make us motivated. Motivation also makes us strong.

It is not the loss itself that makes us stronger, but the careful study of the mistakes we made that led to the loss.

Love hearing these responses in this thread.

Ok folks... Keep on getting stronger!!! Get as STRONG as you can!


You guys should have a competition to see who can get the strongest over the period of 1 month.

Losing In Poker Makes Us Stronger




Possibly. If you are learning from your mistakes, you should become a stronger player. But if you aren't identifying and correcting mistakes, then losing just means you are not a very good poker player. After every hand I lose, I try to internalize the loss. I ask myself, "is there anything I could have done differently?". But most importantly, I focus on not repeating the same mistake again during the session. I recall the hands I loss when I get in similar spots and incorporate those hand histories in my thought process before acting.

poker is a very patient and smart game, it's very important to learn from mistakes, playing poker you often make mistakes, but you always want to take risks, it's inexcusable

It should be like that, but I see some players who, instead of learning from their mistakes, keep playing the same way. But that's a person's problem. As my grandfather used to say... Never expect to hear a donkey respond, no matter how much you talk to him.

it doesn't just make you richer and more frustrated so you have to study and have basic knowledge so you don't keep giving money to casinos!

Only if you really learn from your mistakes.

an empty phrase, of course, you can become stronger if after each tournament you go into icmizer and count hands, understanding what range to set for your opponent, then yes, but for this I suppose you should have at least some distance and understand what ranges will be in what position how to play

losing in poker makes us stronger
There's an Eastern European saying that goes something like this. It's a bit dirty, so I won't quote it. But the essence of this saying is roughly the same: we are loved and we grow stronger. If you ask yourself, do I become stronger after defeats? Yes, of course, but only if I made a mistake and after the post-analysis I was able to make a detailed analysis of my mistake. But if my "KK" beats "A2", then I do not become stronger, but only angrier. :geek::cautious:

Losing at poker can offer learning opportunities. Dealing with defeat, analyzing mistakes and identifying improvements can make you a better player.

I think poker losses serve as learning and in a way serve as study material 😂😂

Losing at poker makes us very angry, especially when we play or try to play well and recreational players beat us with absurd hands

Learning makes you stronger. Losing and not learning makes us losers...

Today I tried to get into good tournaments through satellites, several satellites have already been eliminated, the fact that I take a new satellite again - is that what you call makes you stronger? Hurry up to victory!!!
