Message: [QUOTE="STL FAN, post: 2435064, member: 120788"] The difference is one does exist because the game of poker is an abstract game; meaning filling in the blanks had to be done to gain a skillful edge. The other is “word” that is have been gave life that has no bearing on poker, but people use this word to explain away how they won or lost. One has nothing to do with the other. The % are what they are and when all the money goes in the % either hold up or they do not or they could split; otherwise if the hand does not showdown then” luck” has nothing to do why this writer wins or loses. It is decisions made throughout the hand. There are no wild cards so; this writer never lets a weakness of mind influence thought to explain away weakness or strength of play. From the beginning which this is where a person must understand how the hand was entered” luck” was not a choice there was no outside influence of potential doom or glory because of a word. The writer has to trust the information to make decisions, the game is based on decisions and mistakes because of the abstract, and the writer wins or loses based upon the decisions leaving him to live with the results good or bad. Then analyze the play, move forward and work on better decision making skills even if there was not a negative result. Freedom to enter was a choice because a person who actually takes poker serious would not say “I am going try and get lucky or I hope I am not unlucky in this hand”? The only way “luck” could happen if everyone had the same % to win with no skillful advantage, and the game the only game that comes to mind is the lottery. Otherwise since poker is a skill game; this writer has a skillful advantage over his opponents and “luck” played no part in how this writer would win or lose; experience and skill can alter the true outcome of any given hand. Winning or losing cannot be explained away from word that is given life as a way to justify good or bad fortune. This writer makes conscious choice to play and the choices made reflect his play, the choices made good or bad; will not ever be explained away be a “word”. This writer will not let anyone take this away from them; or the writer could fall into despair and fail himself from weakness of thought that would creep into their game just the same as a “leak”, then all of this could be justified as a reason not to improve.
