Default Re: improving at poker v. improving at chess

The problem in Poker is that you can do everything right and still get screwed by the cards. Then you make adjustments based on this outcome and start to play incorrectly which will hurt you in the long run.

It seems to me that in Poker you need to be stubborn for a while until you have a big enough sample to draw conclusions. Unfortunately this can become quite expensive.

Another difference to poker is that there is not a single correct play, because it all depends on the situation. It is usually correct to fold a bad hand, but on the other hand raising with it may win the pot...
