how do you gauge how good a player you are

[totalise]

Just watch out for the people who are good, authoritive writers but crap poker players who give awful advice in some long old waffley but excellently written post that makes it seem better than it really is.

WTF ya talking about? i don't think you're a good writer

I don't know if any of you remember cris brown on 2p2 a few years ago, sherrif might. She would be my number 1 example of someone who a lot of people thought was some amazing poster and then slowly realised she was talking complete bollox. Anyway I'm not posting anymore hands cos I'm scared that flushy might make a sarky comment

If you are constantly trying to improve your game - you are a good player
If you can be comfortable laying down a good hand whether it is a bluff or not - you are a good player
If you make money year on year regardless of the natural swings - you are a good player
If you can find some way to donk off all your chips to me at Luton sometime - you are a good player

IMHO does it matter whether you are good or not. How do you measure good. Only against what the norm might be. The norm is made up of other peoples opinions. Who cares about other peoples opinions? I suppose at various times in life we all do, but over a game of cards I can honestly say I don't give a stuff what others think. Moreover I look to people who do care and try to tease chips out of them. Can't help it, it's just the way I am.

Keep playing, keep improving but most of all enjoy it.
