Default Re: I should be good enough

[ QUOTE ]
I should be good enough to play better than I do: maximizing wins, minimizing losses, and appropriately handling suck outs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Poker tends to attract intelligent people to it. Intelligent people (in my opinion) are often harder on themselves than others when they make mistakes. We think we should be smarter than that. But the bottom line is, it takes a lot more than intelligence to succeed at poker - things like patience and discipline sometimes take longer to learn. I'd guess some people never learn them.

Saying how good you "should" be is pointless. The only thing worth considering is how good you ARE right now, and how good you CAN BE if you work at it.
