Jman, I said I am a decent player but I have a lot to learn, so tell me what I need to do, I want to learn. If I loose big should I just shrug it off and keep playing?

Thanks augie I hope so!

Every hand dealt is an independent event from every previous hand. Just because you have a losing streak does not mean that by taking time off, you won't have another one. Thinking like this is a major flaw in many new players game.
