Hey all,

I busted out of a shot of a satellite today in higher stakes than I normally play in a single tournament to be in a tournament way high stakes than I normally play (lol),

and I wondered, what does it take to win in the long term in poker?

Im curious to your all thoughts Ive been playing now for about a year and a half and although no doubt have improved I am just trying to get a better sense of the bigger picture! Thanks! 🙂

Do not forget about bankroll management, play on the dealer's place and CutOff as many big banks as possible. Winning online poker in the long run is possible only with a cold head and a steady hand. Good luck ! :listen:
 
Patience is the most important thing in this game ... there is a proverb suitable for poker ... "hurry people make fun" understanding with time everything will come early !!!🙄

To answer the question asked, playing consistent. Once you have your game dialed in, be consistent. As far as the tournament, did you have pot odds to play the low pocket pair? With a 2.5 BB bet it is yes, not consistent with pot odds. A J hand could go either way. Would like to have some history for a final check to call either instance there.

"Consistent" in poker is bad for you. Be consistent against good players and they will steamroller you before the 3rd level of blinds.
"Variable" on the other hand is the way to go when you can adjust to your opponents style of play and steamroller their perceived consistency
 
Bankroll, studying, patients, discipline and passion for the game, agressive spots, skill, luck and a lot of time to play. Best of luck for you.

the most important thing is to be rigorous and disciplined. even when the cards are not on your side. you have to keep doing your best and playing your A game. You have to play every hand in the best possible way and analyze the style of your opponents' games to better manage them. you will be a winner in the long run if you follow these tips.
 
Joey I think you answered your own question during the rant and it is quite simple - Do not make the mistakes you know you made.
Sometimes you can correct the mistakes during the tournament and come back from them and sometimes you will bust out but one way or the other you can only win by correcting all the errors you know
