Re: OT: Maybe it\'s all Just Luck
[ QUOTE ]
My roomate tells me everyday its all luck cause he consistently loses money with a good day here and there. He wont listen to me and try to get better at all. So you could call it all luck if your not good at poker. [/ QUOTE ] I have a friend who is convinced of the same. I try not to encourage him to get better. +EV for me. |

Re: OT: Maybe it\'s all Just Luck
The blue-footed one had a good response to dealing with downswings. Search for it.
There can be no doubt in my mind that humans tend to play better when they have just won then when they have just lost. This exacerbates your swings. It would be nice to "just play your game" through the swings but I doubt if any one of us has the spock-like or data-like ability to ignore the emotional reality. -- tjh |

He just refuses to believe that his donkey plays aren't perfect, he won't analyze his game at all. |
