Message: [QUOTE="j_unatrix, post: 1388058, member: 53601"] The good poker players make thier own luck. Skill plus discipline are two key qualities that you need to be a good player. If you have more skill than the players you are playing against and the discipline to manage your bankroll correctly luck really is not an issue. In the short term it may feel like luck is against you sometimes but if you gain the experience you will understand and be knowlegable that long term this game is definitely a skill game. After just typing this all I come back to this part to say the rest is not 100% on topic just a bit on me that as I wrote in my head I wish some good people would care to read, thank you. I must say of all my post this is by far the best in my honest opinion, I am an aspiring player when my head is straight and everything is in check for me I usually am the best player at the table. When I allow outside influences to distract my game or a bad swing to affect my decision making whether it be game selection hand selection or what have you then I am just like any other loosing player. Nobody said poker was easy but I know in my mind that the players who really want to win, the players who are confident, the players who like what they are doing, the players who are strong and mature are players who and can even "should" be succesful poker players. Things in my life have not been so smooth recently I know people have much tougher things going on for them and tougher lives and I really wish them all the best but I now understand that for a lesser experienced player poker is a game you should only play when you are in a totally good focused mind set and you "want" to play it. My last deposit I made online I had made it 750% higher in a quick amount of time. At the time my bankroll was at that point some things in my life made me feel really down and just also really frustrated and I played when I shouldnt have been. I ran really bad at that time and with my head not on striaght I made a silly decision to move up in stakes and try to recoup my losses now the game was not any harder for me I knew I could beat it but i continuous ran bad because of short time variance and what have you. I even checked some of the major hands I lost online, was the favorite in every one of them some by a large margin but I understand that either way it was too much of a risk for my bankroll. Time has passed and I am about ready to start over again the right way I nearly have all my confidence back and I know the skills are there, hopefully I can keep my focus my discipline and grow a large bankroll to help support myself and everyone in this great time of need. thanks and I wish the best of "luck" to everyone:) [/QUOTE]
