Message: [QUOTE="quick, post: 6367186, member: 133269"] Probably said before but going to say it again, especially as newer players come into the game... Poker involves a huge element of luck and statistically some really do run better, win more, and reach higher levels of poker sooner. No matter how hard you try you might still lose. And no matter how well you think you play or played...you might still be bad or just capitalized on a lucky card next up in the deck. But on flip side, no matter how good or bad another player is sometimes they win. Don't beat yourself up if you bust out, miss the money, or struggle to get +bb while someone else seemingly coasts to 1st place and made money. Rather embrace the insane variance and ups and downs and accept it. You may make it, you may not, but at least if you love the game you're enjoying the ride. The cold hard fact is there are winners, successful players, pro players who got a break, who won some crucial spots...that led to where they are today. They wouldn't be where they are without that. Some don't recognize how luck paved the path but many do. But we can only play what we're dealt. So if you've made it or still grinding, never forget the turning point could be just a few hands going your way or not. Plenty of "pros" who wouldn't be pro if it wasn't for a certain hand or spot happening to go their way that they could then build off that success from. Plenty of good players got there because of a card falling at the right time, plenty of good players still tying or never made it because the cards fall the wrong way for them. Good luck on the felt and never stop striving to learn the game even if you think you've won a bit and got it figured out. [/QUOTE]
