[QUOTE="garenka, post: 1137468, member: 47794"]
Was playing not too long ago *of course* and there happened to be a bunch of hands that i was *for lack of better words* really really afraid to call on. So i of course folded *for example 7/8...then a 7/8 appears on the flop* and then i remember something someone once said ..In poker you have to have "Guts". Im of course assuming he means that you should have this in order to call with certain hands...my thing is that im lacking THAT...i dont have it at all from the looks of things.
    Dont get me wrong there are some times when i simply dont care and say "ah what the hell ill call in mr.All in with 4/8" then strike it big with 2pair of a beautiful house...[I]but that wantingness to do that has left me.[/I] [B]Is it because im now on the realization that i have something to lose if i do this ?[/B] Then the thought comes that [B]"i could lose my tournament life if i call this and it turns out to be for the worst".[/B]   I guess my question *other than the question in bold* is .."What does it mean to you to have [B]Poker Guts..or poker hutspa?[/B] and [B]How "do" you and how "did" you go about obtaining poker guts?[/B]  Is it something learned from years of playing or is it the ignorance is bliss type of thing ? Better yet is it a "I just know these things will  turn out for the best so i do what i want" type of situation ?
 
I hope that all made sense. Thanks in advance.
