Yeah, basically. Just hang your head and accept it. Or come sit with me in a cash game.

Poker is luck.

Period.

For bad players - yes - poker is luck.

I didn't know what thread I should post this in but I want to let all you guys know that I have been reading the stategy forum...and being kind of a newbie I am finding all your advice so very helpful. I still don't quite understand some of the lingo but I am trying to follow the best I can. Like someone posted about reading other players....well I hadn't really thought too much about that. I was one who was really just basically thinking it was mostly about luck..........well just wanted to let you guys know that I am quickly seeing it's not. Yesterday I won two small trnys, previously I had come in second on a rare occasion.....so I just wanted to thank you all. I will continue reading and keep trying to learn...I am very motivated. Any and all advice is appreciated, just wanted u all to know. Thus far I have only been playing hold em.....I love black jack though... Thanks again guys...keep up the good work...

No.

NO.

BlackJack is the devil, quit while you still have a bankroll, trust me. Don't EVER play this game. Ever.

ohhhhhhhhhh... why not???????? :(

Oh and I meant to ask, can any of you guys recommend any reading material (besides this great forum) specifically geared to hold em? or would i be wasting my time and money? and by the way, won a few more trnys! and of course made some senseless mistakes also... but less mistakes than I had been....... or at least I think so anyway.

People in online MTT tend to be overly agressive as opposed to just being agressive. I suggest a mixture of the two is best keeping in mind of how everyone at my table is playing.

The "Super System" books are great...I own a few books but have only read "Super System " all the way through...I really need to re-read it and some other books. Once thing I keep in mind when reading the books/etc is that nothing is "written in stone".

But, I really liked the "Super System".

C ya on the felt!
