Default Re: Failure

In one respect, poker is a lot like chess. An expert chess player learns, after years and years of study and practise, to recognize familiar piece configurations. In chess you try to transform from one favorable configuration to another more favorable one.

Instead of piece configurations, in poker you need to recognize favorable situations. The more favorable situations you are able to recognize, the better you will play.

A newbie recognizes almost nothing. The more you read, play, study, and discuss by posting and replying, the more you build up the "store" of favorabale situations you recognize. The more you recognize the better you play.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
