Fortunately, I've never felt the need to prove to anyone other than myself that I'm good. There are also a ton of players -- even 2p2ers -- who aren't good at all and would even admit they aren't good but win, because you don't have to be good to win.

ye but there is more to being good then just reading skills and all.

NL50 is EZ (although small sample size obv) - I just stopped playing bad round about hand 2400
Will get to 10k hands in mid-August probably [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] My grinding days are over and I'd rather play 3 or 4 tables than 9 coz I'm looking to get good rather than rich [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[C4LL4W4Y]

Beating uNL is all about study and discipline. Good poker (generally at the higher levels or against solid opponents) requires this too, but feel is a much more important factor. I'd argue that a large percentage of posters here don't have this necessary concept, atm at least.

[WHITEBOYAEHS]

i think that people over think hands and stuff a bit...i play like a complete robot and am beating the crap out of nl50 and am about to play nl100 (possibly today) and yeah lets stop trying to convince vyse...he seems content in his little shell of nl10 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Fiksdal]

Damn it.. I'm moving my entire roll (like 2k) from Full Tilt to neteller now, to get it over to party poker, so it will take a couple of days to move it. Totally sucks. Now Its just like being busto! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Which sucks cuz I'm an addict and want to play poker.

<font color="blue">Anyone wanna stake me for $.01/$.02 on Stars with $10? I'm gonna see how far up I can run it. Anyone who ships me $10 will get half of what my Stars roll is when I eventually get money on Party. This is obviously +EV (my winrate on 50NL is like 8bb/100, I can imagine it being a lot higher at 5NL) PM me if you are interested.</font>

[Vyse]

I didn't know a downswing made you a bad player. Or maybe I'm lying and getting my money in with the worst hands all the time, as my multiple HHs prove...

[C4LL4W4Y]

Overthought is okay as long as it's precise. It's when you start drawing illogical conclusions that it becomes a problem.

as i said i have had many BIG downswings, bigger then some here ever had in 100k hands. I ran extremly bad, and had some leaks, but i fixed it and now im nearly at 100NL. everyone has Downswings, u just gotta learn how to deal with them, and u really suck at that.
