For me, it's a matter of self-confidence, not that I am a good player, but in the decisions I make in game.  That latter part is where I feel like I do well and what matters more to me.  Sometimes those decisions work, sometimes they don't, that's how the game is.  Whether that means I'm a good player or not, to me those kinds of thoughts are noise, similar to when sports pundits do their "Power Rankings".  It's a subjective look at who's good and who's not good.

I don't get caught up in that, because in the grand scheme of things, it's not worth the time and energy to tell people how great you are.  If someone compliments a game I played or a play I made, I appreciate that.

One thing sticks out in my mind that I found amusing - in a freeroll a few months ago, we were on the money bubble, and I was in the Small Blind, and I had the Big Blind covered, and I shoved pre-flop.  They called with Ax and doubled (I might have had Q high or something), but I found it amusing when they immediately started to berate me for making that play, like I had the "gall" to do that to them or something.  I was just playing the situation and wanted to take advantage of it.  It didn't work, so you just move on.  But I had a good laugh about that.

Am I a good player?  I have no idea, and more importantly, I don't place importance in answering that question.
