Crazy Game Of Poker

This is a Crazy Game Of Poker





In this Crazy Game Of Poker , catching long runs of cold cards and facing massive dry spells between good wins is a very common thing.

This can happen in cash games and in tournaments, but it is much more likely in tournaments where you can catch a run of bad beats and your game is over- no re-buy to give you the chance to win as a 4:1 favorite to make up for losing when you were 10:1 ahead.

WSOP main event runner-up and well establish tournament pro Eric Seidel says "No matter how good you are, you're bound to encounter long periods where things don't go well. On the tournament circuit, even the best players can go several months - or even a couple of years - between significant cashes."


The only way to survive these dry spells is to have the mental toughness and discipline that these professionals possess. This is one of the characteristics that set them apart from the rest in this Crazy Game Of Poker.

If you are new and have had a very successful start to poker, this will be much harder to achieve, particularly if you are younger and haven't had as much life experience for the broad perspective needed.

But the facts are in your favor long term. If you can become a player that mostly makes correct decisions, you will win money at tournament poker. In fact, if you can become someone who almost always makes correct decisions you can win a lot.

Reasonable expectations and a Zen like understanding of the reality of playing a game which is based on drawing random cards from a deck will serve you well.

I can think back to the last dozen tournaments I have played in and I only remember one important statistic about my play. What is the number of times I have been busted out when I made the wrong decision? This is much more important in the long term than how much I have won or lost lately.

After all, this is the Crazy Game Of Poker and you have to be a little nuts to succeed.
