Default Re: How did YOU get good?

I've read most of the responses here and I think it is all very good advise. Let me see if I can add to it:

First, you are a good player. You enjoy what you are doing and you win most of the time. That defines success.

Second, try new ideas. Decide to play 6 4 from late position when a player in early position has raised. The books tell you how to play tight and aggressive. They don't really tell you how to play when you KNOW what the other guy has.

In fact, one of the most important skills in poker is to be able to determine what the other guy has and would he be willing to let go of it in the right circumstances.

Oh, and know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when...
