This statement demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the way poker works.

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.

I disagree with you there because in many new players, like myself emotion comes to the table. If they win big pots they may get over excited and play to loose, if they lose a big pot they can go on tilt and either play weak tight or just way to loose. I have taken math courses and understand the logic that you are describing, but math isn't the only aspect of cards.
