With victory, it is very easy to manage the poker game. I know how to manage and like it a lot. And enjoy. With a defeat is very complicated. With a defeat, only patience comforts me.

I agree with what The Great One said in his biography The Great One.

I think it's and interesting thought however maybe how to view would be better to focus on the balance of playing, managing, and discipline. In all honesty I struggle with bankroll management as well, but I think if you could find the right balance. This could make a big difference in the long run of your poker progression

Truth is that you can learn how to manage your game better with learning from a loss more than a win. Lol the river will teach you that

Hello without a doubt the best thing is to win. There I better analyze the key moves to win. when I lose I feel terrible especially when I lose with those incredible hands that are in pokerstars

I think a lot of the time losses are more valuable because they can be learning experiences.

I think you need to be able to handle both of them.

Yes, this is poker. If you wins all the time, it loses its enthusiasm

I think both you learn but they are different lessons. When we win we need to know how to continue and continue without wanting to win a lot in a short time. And when we lose we have to try to find out where we got wrong to improve in the next attempt and so on

It depends on the mode, in fast money you go because you are sure that you will win by putting your bankroll, however when you play frerroll you know that the chances of losing are much greater.

I have a similar effect. After losing, I become more disciplined.

The salient point isn’t ‘which is more difficult’ but rather both have pitfalls/pros and cons.

There are positives to be found in losses (if one is willing and able to look for them) and negatives to be found in wins (if one is not careful).

Which seems like either a dichotomy or how you perceive and react is paramount… :)

I don't know what is more difficult to overcome a win or a loss. I often feel that it should be a loss, but after a loss I try to play more carefully and responsibly, and with that loss my game improves and I limit my losses, but after a win it's the opposite, I play more risky and suddenly I'm in the red. How is it with you?
I am the same... Both have their traps, But knowing this I am more careful when I win.... And I try to also learn valuable lessons from victories because even when I win I make mistakes.

Ultimately both winning and losing require discipline and emotional intelligence to manage effectively. It's important to stay level-headed and focused on making the best decisions possible, regardless of the outcome.

I have a winning and losing limit on the day, and I try not to go over that limit, because it's very easy to want to play a lot more when you're winning and end up losing, and it's also very easy for you to have a losing streak and try to recover and end up breaking.

Making changes and improvements to your poker game from a winning perspective is always a better choice. In poker, it's not just about having good cards, it's about making the right decisions based on the information available. As a winning player, you have the advantage of being able to analyze your game and identify areas that need improvement. By making changes and adjustments to your strategy, you can stay ahead of the competition and increase your chances of winning.

On the other hand, if you approach the game from a losing perspective and are unwilling to make changes, you'll continue to struggle and may even find yourself in a downward spiral. Making changes and improvements may require you to step out of your comfort zone and challenge your current beliefs and habits. But by doing so, you open yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities for growth.

Both situations must be taken seriously, most of the time we fail to manage them properly and the unwanted results show their face
