Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 980424, member: 508"] This is the wrong way of thinking. It's good to notice who the weaker players at the table are but don't let them affect you in a negative way. Thinking things like 'I don't stand a chance because I play with skill and they play with luck' is completely negative and not a good way to approach the game. Remind yourself that you can beat them easily because you have the skills to; you have more of an advantage than they do because you know more about the game. You adjust yourself to their style of play to give a better chance at beating them. They don't have those skills, but if you're going to give them more credit than they deserve and let it affect you mentally, then you've already lost because you're thinking is allowing the weaker players' to beat you. I've found out that you can play your best game ever, but if you're thinking and mental approach to the game is not right, you're just setting yourself up to lose. You're going to let small things affect you when they shouldn't. Keep in mind that even the best of the best players lose all of the time. No one is subject to not losing. Also, keep in mind that it is virtually impossible to win a tournament on just skill alone. You're going to need a little luck now and then. The only difference is those who rely on luck alone will almost never get anywhere. They might win now, but in the long run they will lose. And those who rely on skill will win more in the long run. As long as you're making those correct decisions and playing on skill, you'll come up in the end. So, instead of worrying about 'They're going to get lucky, suck-out on me, and I'll lose' concentrate on you knowing you can beat them. You knowing you're the better player, you have more skill, you take advantage of the mistakes they make while they make them over and over again. You might lose a few times, but you'll know you'll triumph in the long run. [/QUOTE]
