[DiceyPlay]

I've heard it said and it seems reasonable that only those players who play consistently 30+ hours a week for an extended period of time (like more then 10 years) get to the long run.

Assuming that is true, isn't it also true that most players only experience short term statistical anomolies?

So how do you know if you're playing well?

How do you come to grips with the fact that your experience isn't necessarily representative of your expectation (it only most likely represents what you should expect)?

You just have to keep playing and hope you don't end up one of the statistical abberations of negative results.

Because if you don't get to the long run, your career results are only a statisical abberation.

I'm leaving to play in a half hour.

Any thoughts appreciated.
