Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

The most insidious of rules are those that aren't rules at all.
They are the limitations that we invent for ourselves

Ask Lord Wernick if it's possible to run bad for 12 months, or look up his results on any poker Database.
Run bad for 12 months? Truly, anyone can. And will.
Micky ran bad for about 5 years before winning the order of merit. DC has run bad for gawd knows how long, is he now a bad player? One rests one's case. |

Screw this Poker lark, its for the degenerate gambler types. Why don't we start a Blonde Bridge league and play a proper card game where there is fuck all luck involved.
People game my arse !!

What an interesting set of posts and counter-posts - I think we should thank the original poster for sparking a debate.
I am probably alone in thinking that this isnt really a debate about skill/quality of play - more it is about poker attitude and gambling attitude.
I am very interested in this primarily from a poker enjoyment and social perspective. One of my real hates about the game is when people suffer a bad beat and go bonkers - laying into the "clown" who has just beaten their better hand, with the wrong pot odds/bad call/1 out blah blah... this seems to happen too often.
I also see those who look ready to explode at games - I worry that the real problem is that they are playing in games they cannot afford to lose and that is a huge mistake for them as individuals.
So simple rules are :
(a) You pays your money and you play your game - and accept that everyone else has the same right.
(b) Only play in any game with a gambling element with money you can afford to lose.
