Amen! Well said.
It is such a tough game. I read somewhere that recently a judge in NY dismissed a gambling charge because they said that poker is a game of skill, not a game of chance. I spend hours upon hours in training sites and books and unfortunately I still am not the profitable poker player that I have set out to be. It is a very tough game and unless you play the exact same players who you can beat every night you cannot expect to win; and even if you do play those exact players who is to say that one of them will not flop a full house 10 times in one night. I played with a guy nightly in my private club whom I could smoke heads up on any given night who took home 1k on a $50 buy in. Studying will help keep you from being exploited at the table but it doesn't remove the variance in the game. Playing poker like a slot machine will absolutely not make you profitable but studying the game and having the bankroll to withstand the inevitable downswings will certainly put you in a position to at least break even.
