Whence money comes
Whence money comes
If all your opponents play poker excellently, most likely, you cannot win on a long distance. At nights when to you have a better card usually, you will win. When you have a worse card than usually, you will lose. As a result, irrespective of the fact how you played, you cannot win on a long distance.
Each cent of your profit on game in poker on a long distance arrives from errors of opponents and predicted actions of opponents. The more numerous and rough their mistakes are, the more money you can make. Some players on low limits who try to win in the game very much, think, that on the higher limits they would achieve the big successes. «If only I get to game where all would respect my raises, I would become the great winner». This reflexion which has been thought up by many exhausted players – is absurd.
Money comes from use of mistakes. When your opponents do misakes, you can gain money. If your opponents do not do any istakes – you do not gain money. The major potential for profit reception is always present at games where your opponents do frequent and expensive mistakes
It is normal process of training of the person. However immediate results in poker often disperse from your actions. Sometimes on flop a strong combination comes to you, you do bets and raises, build huge bank, but on river opponent suddenly gets the happy card. You operated correctly, but the result is not pleasant to you. Next time you play as looser, but on river a miracle comes to you. You operated incorrectly, but the result is very much pleasant to you. These “opposite” results confuse your brain and break natural process of training. The casual nature of poker has essential influence on the majority of people wishing to learn to play poker well, training processes become so mixed, that the majority stops to study. Since this moment they cease to be improved, they play the own style full of awful mistakes. And it is for ever. As a matter of fact, it is one of the reasons why so many people play badly.
The correct way of training to poker consists in understanding of the theory and check of correctness of draw of a hand, irrespective of result of concrete delivery. Do not start to chase for wild draw because you will win only once. Do not stop to protect good hands by the raises, only that someone is constant calling and has collected an improbable combination. These are typical problems of players on low limits. They receive such frustration from the players doing poor calls (on a long distance the money enclosed in poor calls, exceeds the income received from them – game in the constant loss) and taking away bank, that cease to play aggressively. «I only call. They always extend a happy card. At least, I will lose less in such game » Separate losses do not conduct to loss on a long distance. To it passive game conducts. Study the concepts and apply to them, without paying attention to individual results.
Other part of a problem is that many players even playing well on limits above, do not understand how to adapt the strategy for game on low limits. They very much try to beat easy games, but agree that bad beats eat all income. Mistakes of your opponents create potential for reception of the big profit but if you play incorrectly cannot exploit it. If you do not win on a long distance it does not mean, that your opponents do many mistakes. Search for the reason in yourself.
