Well from most of your other lessons I knew that luck played no part in poker. But you did make it a good point of explaining why luck has nothing to do with it.

As Msfilly said it is all clearer now .

This contest does take luck so Good Luck everyone

This lesson reminds us that to be a winning poker player, you must be very patient. Funny how so many things about poker reaffirm that time and again.

I CAN be patient and see that I do better by it, but I have to consciously do it - I don't think it comes naturally to me. I have to remember to USE a lot of patience when I play, or I probably won't and I won't do as well. Playing with patience takes a lot of self-discipline, something I don't use that often in life. But when I use it in poker, I see better results, so I just have to keep reminding myself of it, to be conscious of it, to be patient purposefully... 'cause it probably won't happen on its own automatically.

And to bet on what you have and not on what you HOPE to have is the thing that I think takes the most self-discipline of all. It just makes you cringe when you fold a hand that turns out to be the one that would have won, so it's hard to fold before you know that last card. But that's when you have to discipline yourself and remind yourself how many times it DIDN'T turn out to be the one that would have won. Many more times.

THANKS AGAIN GURU
