Message: [QUOTE="Crudelis, post: 1351515, member: 61710"] Religion has nothing to do with poker. Period!! The thing with luck and magic and stuff of that sort is that it allows you a means of self-deception. If you believe that your opponent won just because hes lucky then it indeed MIGHT be true, however most of the time it isn't. When you automatically credits every win on your opponent's part to luck then you are deceiving yourself, you are using luck as an excuse to justify playing the hand poorly. Every hand you lose you should open the HUD and watch the hand to see if you really did play it correctly or post it on the forums and see what other people think. As for the questions the OP asked. "What makes a good poker player?" Its already been said that practice is important, and thats true. But I think determination and confidence are just as important. Determination is important in all things, you need to be determined to be the best at what you do, because if you aren't determined to be the best then you never will and you won't even come close. You also need to be confident, without confidence then every time you lose you will doubt yourself, its easy to get thoughts like: "I'll never be as good a player as he is." Now for the question of "When does poker becomes a gambling problem?" To be honest I really don't know how to answer that question. I guess when you know you can't afford to play at a certain level but you do so anyway, and when you know you are playing badly but continue to sit there because you feel that you absolutely HAVE to win back what you have lost.
