Poker Strategy
Success in Poker requires good strategy in place. Players often experience a streak of bad beats at one time or another. It can also lead people to think winning at poker is impossible. It just shows that even though skill is a big part of poker, there's also a lot of luck involved. Never forget skill will always triumph over luck in the long run.This game is like the stock market; some days it goes up, and some days it goes down. Sometimes people get lucky and pick a great company that prospers as scrips rise steadily, similar to poker players that sometimes get lucky when they constantly draw out on the river. It can take months to become a consistent winner.
We infrequently see players go on huge runs. Every time they play, they win, and it seems like it's just because they're lucky. This isn't the case. These same players, when running cold, will throw away their money faster than wind. On any one day, a fish can get lucky and beat even the top poker players. However, over the course of many sessions, the pro will always win.
Luck will make even the best players play worse. When a player gets lucky he'll slowly start to loosen up. If you get luckier on the table, take a break and ask yourself if this is the right way to play the game. Luck never stays, so you need to evaluate your play and get back to the basics. Skilled play will win in the long run.
Moreover, a healthy bankroll helps reduce the influence of luck - or the lack thereof - to a minimum. When you're playing well, you seem to take more bad beats because the horrible players are drawing out on you a lot. A large bankroll in proportion to your current game won't bother you as much.
I always carry as much money as I can for the game I choose to play. This helps me disregard the bad beats I take every day.
