If you think you're good, you're not

complex1 · Aug 23, 2021

Poker is like chess and golf, you can always get better. And the theory always changes and you have to change with it.

This is a pretty ironic topic given that not only are 99% of poker players losing players, but that even those that are winning somehow over the long term still spend most of the time losing their hands.

this ^ is 100% inaccurate!

Running off at the mouth is an online tell, I try and exploit it.

Maybe you should know that you're good but others better.

I'm still a loser

I like poker to be fun for myself and others. Also it's more about enjoying and making best decisions. In the long run, win rate says it all.

Baldy86 · Sep 1, 2021

i disagree

i know that i am good because i have crushed others and made money in real life cash games . and i have good reading abilities and can often guess the cards of my opponents correctly (often so good that i am surprised myself ) , i often call with having not much and win because i know opponent is bluffing even though he bets heavy . etc etc

and i often won online tournaments

but i have horrible bankroll management

and online poker is rigged . i will not discuss this ....i have been playing online poker (and poker in general) for more than 10 years and am sure of it . it is not "variance" thats bs ....

and i encounter a lot of bad players online who do bad moves and get lucky . i will call them out on it every time

I disagree with your disagree... because you're probably a perfect example.

fwiw, good players generally don't 'call out bad players who make bad moves & get lucky' on the tables. Do you understand why?

hi

on the contrary, I know that I am weak and I realize that I still have a lot to learn. And the topic of teasing with other players, I just play and do not pay attention to chats and teasing

mouTAT · Sep 6, 2021

When you think you are beating the game it always proves you that it is unbeatable that's the fun part of poker for me

Datdude1 · Sep 6, 2021

People sometimes have very different views on what or who is good (player) or bad (player). I'll call myself a moderate player who has streaks of good and bad cards. But mostly I'll call myself a player who is constantly learning how to be better!

danoscar · Sep 6, 2021

Look at it as free entertainment.

vittopio · Sep 6, 2021

Personally, I mark any player who speaks out in the chat as weak or at least an amateur!

Viper ChipIt · Sep 6, 2021

Yea this happens alot on the lower stake tables or freerolls. I just treat it as people just messing around and only playing for fun. If it tilts you you can block the players chat. I've done that a few times.

What does it matter what you and others think about you? The size of your bankroll decides!

How often do you see players talking smack on the tables about how bad other players play? I been playing non stop the past year and i found out some funny things. Players who put down other players play i find make the same mistakes and more. Players that say they are good but never win are my favorite ones and the topic. If you think you are a good poker player but you lose all the time, Then most likely your are not a good poker player. Are you that player or do you know that no matter how good you are there is always a way to lose. It took me a long while to learn not to tell ppl that im a good player cause why would you. Bad beats shouldnt hurt you if you got a Bankroll and a good head on ya.

You're right.
Poker is a long-term game, with upswings and downswings in the process.
So you should not be complacent about your results.You can understand this by looking at the top players and still learning.
Stay humble

The players at the table are judged by those who have more chips, as soon as the chips disappear, their condemnation stops.

MrPokerVerse · Oct 4, 2021

Don't tap the glass! Why would you tell anyone they made a bad play? Sure might it might make you feel batter about losing a hand. Play on, let a bad player think they made a good play with less than 10% to win.

Sivraj · Oct 4, 2021

I think I'm both a good and a bad player and that's due to my freestyle strategy of playing with any hand in any position. Sometimes my strategies work sometimes they don't due to variance and skill too. But I'm always open to learn.

franken222 · Oct 4, 2021

Love this post.

I let my play tell other people whether or not I'm good, or bad.

Ever notice that the loudmouths at the table, are the ones looking in at the end of the tournament?

bigthereal · Oct 4, 2021

just focus on yourself and that will pay off

fernandofcp · Oct 4, 2021

I agree! Being good is not just saying that it is, but doing great things during the plays and achieving good results. Good people don't have to say they are good, because other people already say so.

pavel1111111 · Oct 4, 2021

i never do that and i will never do it

If you think you're good, you're not
