During a poker game it is important to make a decision based on various factors :deal: . In the process of decision-making can acquire new knowledge and skills, or to strengthen them.
The result - a consequence of certain decisions.
 
results you want to learn to be consistent in what your doing. You want to make the right decisions to do that but the end is its all about the money if your playing for money.
 
result is important but to get a good result you must make correct decisions most of the time.

Both the decision and the result are linked to one another, because in order for you to get good results most of the time you have to make a decision.
 
If you are making the proper decisions then the results will follow. Being short term results oriented is not a good way to progress in this game.
 
If you make the right and informed decisions in time, then the result will justify itself
 
From the very beginning, the hardest lesson to learn is that good decisions are the goal. Poker is a game of variance, so there is no guarantee tht making the correct decision will lead to a good result. But because poker is also a statistical game, in the long run, good decisions will lead to good results. that is what bankroll management is about, but that tale is for another time.
 
Hello,
I think both of them are principal on poker without good decission you won't be able to have a nice results.
Thanks.

Depends.

If you have solid BRM it's decisions, not even close, because individual results don't matter.

Now if you have $10k to your name and enter the WSOP ME, results are all that matter.

I would rather be lucky than good. I can make good decisions with the money.
 
It's all been said. Everyone should be after long-term sustainable results. = money!! The only way to make that happen is to make good decisions. One "huge" pot because you made a call on a feeling is never going to translate into a winrate over time
 
logically, decisions are leading to results, but in poker only winning decisions counts
 
The right decision at the wrong time can cost you everything.
The wrong decision at the right time can still give you good results.
That's what makes this game so fun.
 
both , no but seriously, i think learning the math behind the game is my choice .so making right decisions is key bc when u make less mistakes u will see better results. gl
 
What counts are always the right and profitable decisions in the long run.
 
It's not difficult to hear phrases like "I know it was not the most appropriate option, but the only thing that counts is that I've taken the boat" or "I know you do not like the way I play, but as you see I have more chips than you ".
It is difficult to convince people who act in this way that they are probably wrong,
 
An example is when a player follows an appropriate strategy and for other reasons is left with few chips, so you have to change the game and act aggressively. It may be that playing a lot of all-in is lucky and wins, but that does not mean that you should always play that way because in that case luck would greatly affect and negatively influence in the long run.
 
The results is the main, because any desicion make for you a result. Anyone want a good resuelt when the tournament is over.
 
All decision you make is a result of your position so for me my decision is more important then my place.Any good position will you allowed to be in good place.
 
Decisions!! Easy question, Results are short-term. If you are making the best decisions on a regular basis than the results will eventually show that.

Example: Calling huge turn bets with "draws" when you have terrible pot odds, in a tourney or even cash game you can suck out a few times and have good results but if you do that over the next 10000 hands, you will definitely lose more money / tournaments. So the bad decision can lead to 1 or 2 or 3 good results, but it will definitely cost you over time
 
Both are important, the good results of a player are based on a good analysis and a good decision-making.
 
An important step in becoming a consistent player is to be able to distinguish between the right and wrong decisions without observing the instantaneous results, but taking these as a set of probabilities and statistics that will bring the expected results in the future.
