Well after 2 hours sleep, nothing like a stroll through a sharp breeze of a thread to wake you up.  Roll Eyes

Welcome Simon, good luck in the EPT, prove yourself by by us all a G&T with your winnings.

Too late to contribute as I am following good advice and "moving on" before I even got a chance.

Happiness and joy  Kiss

PS Watch out for Polar Bears TightEnd

I, myself, am probably around the 80-85% mark in correct decision making

I would love to know what the bracelet winners, WPT winners and other world class players who post here think their % mark in correct decision making is. Was it Howard Lederer who said he'd never played a perfect hour of poker in his life? Statisticly if you're playing thousands of hours poker a year and making 85% correct decisions there surely must be many hours where you play perfect poker, which means you must be pretty much the best player in the world...

Unfortunately for me the 15%-20% of the time I make a wrong decision it usually leads to my downfall!

I would assume that in any kind of sport/pastime you do you must try and do your best.

Lets assume that perfect poker meant winning every tournament. Not possible!

However it was Greg Raymor that said that as long as you're making 'good decisions' then good poker should follow.

Lets assume that 90% means that, for the majority of the time, you're ability to play the game of No Limit Hold'Em with only 1 mistake in every 10 hands you play. I think we can all relate to making mistakes by the amount we bet, raise etc etc.

What I believe is that out of every 10 hands I play I'm making around 2 mistakes. Compunded this means I lose more often than I win!

Having done a diary for the past two years on my tournament play I can honestly say that for the whole peiod I've played and the many hundreds of tournaments I've played I'm in profit! Not a lot...but profit nonetheless.

I don't think there's a vast difference in ability between me and anyone else, on any given day, but I'll probably make that one mistake more than the better player will and that will lead to my finishing the tournament before they do.
