Message: [QUOTE="puzzlefish, post: 7018669, member: 307275"] A lot of members are mentioning making good decisions in poker. That's an important but still a very small part of winning at poker. Here's what they are not telling you (yet). You need to play many many hands and/or many many tournaments. Hundreds of thousands of hands. Many thousands of tournaments. This is called volume - high volume is many games, many hands and low volume is the opposite with few games and few hands over time. Poker is won only over the long run with high volume play. It is incredibly chaotic and unpredictable over the short run and if you are a low volume player, it is very easy to get lost in the waves of the storm. So keep that it mind and if you can't afford to spend the necessary time to get the volume that is required but still like to play poker, then you have to come to terms with living continuously in the storm That also means losing, sometimes for a prolonged period of time, and sometimes forever if you get stuck in a downswing at low volume. The final thing I want to add is about game and table selection. You want to find poker games that you can beat and the only way of doing that is to play against players who are worse than you are. Doing the opposite - playing against better players - mostly leads to losing against them over time. You may learn a few things in the process, but realistically you probably learn very little while in the moment unless you are very disciplined. Instead, you can review hands, read articles, practice in simulators, watch videos... etc. etc. to do your studying. The best results in poker come from knowing how to find the best games and make the most from them. That means know how to find weaker players than you and avoid players who are stronger and better than you. One final thought: watch the rake that you get charged, because that makes it even easier to lose money. [/QUOTE]
