This is a great post...if you want to create a bunch of suckers. And, judging from the responses, you're doing a spectacular job.

I got a great laugh out of the line:

"There are no successful people, or rather, using these words, I should say that there are no failures and everyone is a success."

I see G's thoughts in two ways:

1) He may be saying that the journey is more important than getting from point A to B. In that case, if you learn and have fun along the way, then that is a success.

2) If you do want to measure your success by BB/100, BB/hr, ROI, etc then you still have to ignore those measures in order to reach them. This is what seems counter-intuitive, god-like or whatever to some of you.

Evaluating opponents with a detached outlook and playing them based on your reads and intuition (whether those reads and intuition are based on absorbing the math of shtloads of hands or are just a skill in and of itself doesn't matter, as long as you get to that point) is the path to playing well. And playing well will be a good journey as well as getting you to Point B.

If you want to bump old threads, do it with this one. It was just bumped so you have to wait a few months.
