When do you get over "The Fear"?

[Malificent]

Tao of Poker actually tangentially touches on this when it talks about how every player goes broke now and again and the feeling you get is: "Maybe I never really understood the game...maybe I was just getting lucky all the time." That's The Fear in a nutshell. I'm not sure it ever really goes away completely. That self-doubt will always be nagging in the back of your brain. But if you count your winnings loudly enough, you can drown it out. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The best thing you can do for your game and your confidence is to analyze your own hands. Once in a while play over an entire session in Poker Tracker. Look at every hand you flopped. You'll learn a lot and gain a much better sense of how well you play. Also how badly your opponents play.
