A friend of mine who go's to an university, has now been playing for over 2 years now but he still is at the same level wihout much improvment in is BR(still a winning player do)

On other guy I know who is nog a collge drop out has started playing in januri this year, went broke to times due to the lack of discipline but now has a bankroll of 150K

I think the key thing to succeed in these high cahs games is knowing your players. Get a read on them en go with it even if it cost your whole buy in. You cant survive just playing ABC poker in these kind of cash games, a hand like 56 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is raised 3.5 times the big blind, but also AA is riased the same way. It becomes much harder for you to put your oponant on a hand

Just bcs you go to uni doesnt make you that smart, sorry. I went to a decent uni and there were plenty of idiots. Im currently at a top 10 uni in the world and not everyone is even that smart here. I'd say that out of the people who beat the highest stakes, sat 200/400 limit and 25/50 nl and higher, 90%+ of them would be in the top 10% of intelligence for the general population. Those numbers may be conservative. So being very smart is almost necessary imo to being a top player. But not sufficient.

All of the top players today are either like former BJ dealers: Like scotty nguen

Tedd forrest is one of the best in the game, before you started playing poker he worked for 4$ an hour at the respetion on a hotel

They are somehwat intellegent yes, but far more important. They have an exallent read on their opponants. They can put you on a hand en act on it. I bevlieve this is far more important to have to beat this games on a regular bases then the iq you have
