Re: Almost there with Success and Failure (Long)

This is a great post...if you want to create a bunch of suckers. And, judging from the responses, you're doing a spectacular job. I got a great laugh out of the line: "There are no successful people, or rather, using these words, I should say that there are no failures and everyone is a success." [/ QUOTE ] I see G's thoughts in two ways: 1) He may be saying that the journey is more important than getting from point A to B. In that case, if you learn and have fun along the way, then that is a success. 2) If you do want to measure your success by BB/100, BB/hr, ROI, etc then you still have to ignore those measures in order to reach them. This is what seems counter-intuitive, god-like or whatever to some of you. Evaluating opponents with a detached outlook and playing them based on your reads and intuition (whether those reads and intuition are based on absorbing the math of shtloads of hands or are just a skill in and of itself doesn't matter, as long as you get to that point) is the path to playing well. And playing well will be a good journey as well as getting you to Point B.
