I really like your approach to this game. I'm not talking about skill level or hands played or cash won. It's all about patience ie. bankroll management, table selection, constant education. Too often, poker players want to toss money into a website and hit that home run, go big or go home attitude. The only successful players in this game are the ones who treat it like a long term game, which is what I see coming from you.

I hate saying good luck at anything, especially in relation to poker. So cheers and good play to you! I hope one day I can stack you
Thanks man

"good skill" makes a far better well-wishing phrase than "good luck" for poker, unless you're a results-oriented thinker

I (like most n00bs to the game) started with a 'go big or go home' attitude. It wasn't that long ago that I was arguing with spoonitnow about the importance of bankroll management

I'm the kinda guy who's gotta learn things the hard way, and thankfully it only took me 5 or 6 times having my microstakes BR getting decimated by bad beats at 100NL/200NL before I was finally sold on the idea of mitigating the damage caused by negative variance.



...It's only a matter of time before you're stacking me at Niagara, or some home game ...Surely I'll be helpless to your uber-thinking 200NL grinder skillz
