Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 7003706, member: 430261"] There is Winning at Poker, then there is WINNING! at Poker, The difference is in what position you finish? Being number One in every game you play is just Impossible, It would be nice but It's never going to happen. Finishing in the Money is always a Win in my book, Whether that is a couple of Cents in a Freeroll or a Few Dollars in a buy-in Tournament. All Wins are important if you are wanting to be a Profitable Poker Player, The only time I don't consider a Win Profitable, is when I have had to re-buy in a game a number of times, That's also the reason I try and avoid re-buy Tournaments, It's all fine and well to be able to re-buy and continue playing, but are you going to be in Profit at the end of the Game? That's the real Question. I remember when the National Lottery first started here in the UK, and a Chinese Gentleman that used to come into our Pub was over the moon because he won £10 in the very first draw, "I Win, I Win" he proudly proclaimed in the Pub, When I asked him how much? He said £10 with a smile, I said "Well that's a great return for a £1 bet, No he answered I bet £50, So in his mind he had actually won £10 but in my mind he had lost £40, It kind of changes things when you get the full facts. He was ecstatic, thinking he had won £10 and oblivious to the fact he had placed bets totalling £50 to win £10, but a Win is a Win Right? Sorry but not in my Book. If I Won 10 Cents in a Freeroll that cost me nothing to play, I consider that a Win and would be happy about it. Winning at Poker is just about being in the Money and being in Profit, There is a huge difference, but being Number One in a Tournament is a totally different feeling, I know because I have been there a couple of Times! I always want to play my best game when I sit down at a Poker Table, Fishing In the Money is always a Win, But I don't even think about Winning the Game until I reach the Final Table, It is only then that I start to think that it is within my grasp to be Number One.
