For that sir, I thank you

Good post OP.

Spectacular post! And let me give you a little advice... play some more live games. You get a chance to think more while in a hand and pay attention more to players during hands you are in and hands you have folded. Playing more live poker has helped my game tremendously.

It isn't back luck. It's just chance. You've already done all you can- you worked hard. If you work hard at poker, you WILL WIN. It's a game of skill. Stop counting real money over the short term and instead count Sklansky Bucks
