If you win at the age of 16 at 7 out of 10 tables, then you have a chance to make a big wealth at the game by the age of 20, and travel the rest of your life....

The fact that you consider yourself to be the best player at the table, this assessment, may be your biggest weakness. You should never underestimate your opponents, because it always leads to bad consequences. Especially when you're 16 years old and you think you're the best player, despite the fact that your opponents may have decades of experience, it will obviously end up leading you to lose money and disappointment.

I think these are useful and necessary words for a young guy.The Best Player Does NOT Always Win... That's Why Phil Hellmuth is famed for his quote "If there weren't luck involved, I would win every time."
I'm 44 and if life has taught me any thing, it's that EGO is a very Dangerous Thing, and..... I wish I was 16 again knowing what I know now...
You Do sound so much like Stu Ungar... It will be interesting to see how far you go...
Good Luck...

If only the best players won, poker would never have become as popular as it is. The peculiarity of poker is that most players (including you) consider themselves to be better than others or even the best. But in fact, 80% of players get or don't get a result only because of their luck, or lack thereof. The dynamics of your bankroll growth is a reliable indicator of your skill, and this dynamics says more about you than any words.

If you are a better player than the others you will win in the long term, but in the short term you can win and lose, in poker there is always variance, but if you study and work hard on your game you will win more than the others.

If you're 16 years old, I wonder how long you've been playing poker?
Apparently, if you consider yourself a "good player" at 16, you will already be a professional at 20.
If you win 7 times out of 10, then you definitely have talent, although to be honest, I have some doubts about the authenticity of your words

Hello. I couldn't read through all the comments, but I can't help but wish you success. I believe that a good player has an advantage, makes more right decisions, but winning every pot is not it. Be careful, it's not far to the "Helmut complex". Good luck at the tables!!!!

Hell no read some pros books and im not a person who says need to go buy pros books or should...I tournament player is lucky to get in money 1 out of 8 times is something to shoot for....Now that said you have to make that one count if that is how your running at times your gonna win 5 out of 8 times but mostly one win out of 8 will keep you profitable as long as you finish near the top....Cash is different your young work on knowing PEOPLE spotting them if a live player...See is this a real poker player or is this guy on vacation and happy to play a few hands? Spotting that is key... Same thing at a bar so to speak for drinks when your older...Spot the characters learn how to judge them do they always call down with 2nd pair on board etc...that is how you become successful

Even skilled players can face prolonged downswings due to the game's inherent variance. With typical variance, downswings lasting several months are not uncommon. Adequate bankroll management and maintaining a long-term perspective are crucial to weathering these periods, as short-term results often fluctuate significantly despite correct play.

I think that for tournaments they can reach paid seats, but it is impossible for them to win first place in all tournaments.
As for cash games, they can distinguish themselves from others with their professionalism and skills.

I think it's kind of a premature stat, 7 out of 10 👍, but can you maintain that?, if you change the level to a different level than you're used to, does your percentage hold up long term? If you are proposed above will you keep up? And finally, if you are put in a game that is not a routine for you, would you still be able to easily talk about percentages?
From my little time in poker I can easily tell that at these changes in stakes or entry level there are periods of rapid rise in the short term followed by an end of hard, which asks you the question: do I try one more time after such a torment?🤔.
So maybe experience, skill and knowledge will always come before any rake stat or whatever that means.
