Default Re: Mental Strength

the fact is poker is easy when u are running well. if we are hitting all of our draws etc poker is the best game in the world and 12 hours can go by like it was 10 minutes. however when the cards go dry and we hit a rough patch the game starts getting boring and our concentration drops and understandably so. if as a poker player u can play the same way whether you are (hitting your draws\winning) as when u are missing your draws\losing u have reached the holy grail imo. if u can forget about results and concentrate on the process of playing correctly EVERY single hand u WILL be a winning player. this is what seperates the best from the good\average players, they get satisfaction from getting there money in with there 10% edge and dont worry when they lose. granted they are probably stinking rich so 1 buy in doesnt affect there lives but it is all relative.
