Re: The Well: Adanthar (1/16/07)
FT of some WSOP event. You, Ansky, MLG, and Nath are there. All have equal chip stacks of 75BBs. Who wins?
Is it true that some people just "get it" and some don't?
If you had to break these things down, in terms of how important they are to be a long-term winning player, what would the breakdown be? (yes, they're not mutually exclusive, but deal with it --- I guess just rank them or something).
- Mental discipline (i.e., tilt control and control of the gambling instinct)
- mastery of the mathematics of poker
- good poker "feel"
- solid bankroll management
- experience
- having poker buddies to discuss poker with
- hand reading
- confidence
- being ranked on p5s
- being a well-rounded poker player
- poker/work/life balance
- happiness in other aspects of life
Do you find yourself getting bored with poker ever? Honestly, is it something that challeneges/intrigues you equally, decreasingly, or increasingly over the past 4 years?
