I have never been under the illusion that I'm good at this game. I did not play it as a kid or even the first 40 years of my life. <BR/><BR/>BUT . . . . I sure did stumble into being a long term winner SOME HOW! <BR/><BR/>I have to think it is not ME being good but others being bad - or as you say - me just being better then the people I play against! <BR/><BR/>Does that make me good?<BR/><BR/>I don't have a clue if NL games are tougher then they were - I was in another world.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932711236857676894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18806762.post-82234830750505737122008-01-02T15:21:00.000-05:002008-01-02T15:21:00.000-05:00I know limit is harder because mt poker rooms were...I know limit is harder because mt poker rooms were taken away. I used to play $5/10 with 50% flops on the euro sites - find THAT at Poker Stars or Full Tilt.<BR/><BR/>So I gave up my cash cow for NL (my new cash cow of the future).Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932711236857676894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18806762.post-79199618975950288162008-01-02T15:18:00.000-05:002008-01-02T15:18:00.000-05:00Lol at Kurokitty!

Everything you say makes total ...Post of the year? Everything you say makes total sense to me! I think that players are slightly better as a whole, but there are still a billion people who are clueless. This makes it hard to beat big tournaments in my opinion, but at the same time it also makes it easier because if and when they miss the BS you get huge stacks and more top 3s. There is a lot of luck in poker, but you are right, people who bitch and moan about poker usually do not adapt or even attempt to become better at poker....... They just think they are owed something because they know a little.Chad Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771856744998773711noreply@blogger.com
