Reading hundreds of thousands of words put together by the wizards of poker. Thousands of hours on the front lines of the poker wars and finally a glimmer of understanding comes forward to speak the truth. It was always there lurking just on the other side of consciousness, waiting to be discovered. Those who knew the truth all along have been shouting it from the highest mountain tops. They didn't try to keep it a secret, they have said it a thousand times. They have even put on demonstrations to show those of us who wanted the truth but were afraid to speak the words out loud. LUCK is the ingredient needed to be a winner.
You can pray, plead, beg, or cry for help but if Lady Luck is not at your side, you ain't got no chance of taking home the bacon. Forget about those pocket rockets that explode into a thousand crumbled pieces when confronted by the guy sitting next to Ms Luck. All the patience in the world will not distract Luck from the winners circle. She has a will of her own and she will not be deprived. She fears not the power of your cards, she laughs at your position and takes your chips to her favorite son of the moment.
Does it take a rocket scientist to figure out why the clueless win huge pots, go on endless rushes that create piles of chips stacked higher than Everest. No, it's luck and it's bad luck when they lose it. We have all been hoodwinked into believing there was some secret formula to be a winner. No my fellow posters and lurkers there is no magic formula to the winners circle. You need a rabbits foot, a lucky coin, a charm, anything that will woo Lady Luck to your side. She is a powerful force and when she's at your side you will be king of the stacks.
This information being presented today will undoubtably create a waive of depression amongst those of you who have been students of the game. You will become despondent over the hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars you have spent on books, videos and seminars to learn how to be a winner. You may feel the need to lock yourself into a dark room and weep over the lost hours of your life. Precious hours searching for the truth, when all along, all you needed to do was to spend a dollar twenty nine cents on a rabbits foot that would have changed your life forever. Sometimes in life you have to give up dreaming about the impossible. Grow up and face life's challenges with your eyes wide open.
The truth sometimes hurts but you must remember, the situation is always the boss. The four P's of poker, Patience, Power, Position and Politeness are important but they have nothing to do with winning. They have everything to do with not losing to much when Lady Luck is on a mercy mission to help one of the clueless. She can not be at your side every single day of your life. This is one busy lady, she has to take care of the craps players, the slot drones, and all the other mindless gamblers in the world. So get yourself a lucky charm, play tight and aggressive and who knows your next session she might show up and give you her blessing.
SPM,...finally got a lucky charm four wins in a row... :-)
