Default Re: After reading \'My failure as a poker pro (very long)\' by Ten7offsuit

When I first started playing poker about 1000 years ago in junior high, I thought I was smarter than all the other players (better grades and test scores). Because of this, I thought it would be easy to win. Wrong. Cards don't care about your grades or test scores. I didn't even start breaking even until I was a senior in high school. Of course there were no good books back then, no internet, no 2+2, so I had to learn from just playing once or twice a week in nickel-dime-quarter games.

Obviously there are game playing skills that sometimes are not directly related to your ability to do well on the math aptitude tests. Anyway the results speak for themselves. But there is no way to know what your problem is. Post some stats.
