Message: [QUOTE="alienat3d, post: 5756267, member: 226185"] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4] [/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Poker is a mental sports and a game of skill with the element of luck in it. It's like chess, but better. Why is better? Because in chess the newbie won't play for money with grossmeister, until he has too much and want to do somekind of weird charity act to him.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]In Poker you can see this all the time, all that thank to this element of luck.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]I always love to repeat one poker quote, when it comes to that "Luck/Skill in Poker" topics:[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]That's so true and it's crucial to understand the concept of poker distance and variance.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4] [/SIZE][SIZE=4] [/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Totally right, I would say even more about 8-9% of all players are in plus on long run and maybe 10% more breakeven. That's how it is. But it doesn't mean, that it's impossible.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]The numbers are like that because absolutely most of the people take poker as their fun hobby. They hardly study it or not enough. They don't input enough (or at all) hours to learn math, strategies behind it, to create ranges and analyze hands, not buying GTO, tracking, flop analyze software, coaching, courses in order to become stronger and level up.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]They just play micro limits now and again after work or at weekends for fun. Making sometimes shots for bigger limits, bust their bankrolls and comeback to freerolls or micros again. They don't make things complicated studying everyday and input numbers in their bankroll sheet after each game. No table select, no game plan, no game analytics.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]They don't do all that work, which Pros and Ambitious Regs do. And that's where the difference come from.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Professionals are not more lucky, they just input much more work and hours in this game and that is why they're better.[/SIZE] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4] [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=4][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]I agree, but the irony is, that exactly this will be 95% of luck - winning one huge field MTT. :D[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]So the conclusion is: If you want to impress people, who far away from understanding what poker is all about - show them a single big win in a Multi-table Tournament. If you want to impress a Pro or a good Regular - show them your upward going graph after 3000+ tournaments played. :)[/SIZE] [SIZE=4] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
