Re: Admitting you were wrong
[ QUOTE ]
It seems like the players who are considered to be the best are willing to admit it all the time, which can lead to interesting conclusions..... In the high stakes and medium stakes limit forums there is quite much of it (which makes those forums a great place for discussion (not contributing much, as I don't have much to add)). Players playing small stakes and thinking they have figured things out annoyed me so much that I quit reading those forums (as no player who is very good would bother to play those stakes (I do it often, but I am not very good)). Those with that mentality will NEVER, I repeat NEVER get very good in ANYTHING, never seen it in poker, never seen in sport, never seen it business, in short: never going to happen. I have semicoached some friends in poker, and the first and most important step is to make them admit they suck (in a polite way), only then can they realize how much effort they actually need to put into the game to get good.
