The SECRET to Poker

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever played poker with someone who seemed to CONSISTENTLY catch lucky cards, time after time after time? I’m not talking about any luck. I’m talking about the kind of luck where your opponent flops a boat, gets dealt pocket rockets, catches a flush on the river and so on.

Have you ever found yourself wondering: “Jeez, he can’t POSSIBLY catch another hand like that, it’s simply statistically impossible!” Yet the luck CONTINUES, until he rakes in all the chips, and empties your pockets. And then you go home for the night. And you rationalize to yourself that the only reason you lost was because your opponent was LUCKY and that you just couldn’t seem to catch any good cards. Am I right?

If you’ve ever been through this, you’re not alone my friend. Far from it. Because THAT is exactly what poker is all about. If the odds played out the way they’re “supposed to” every time, poker wouldn’t be fun at all.

Indeed, over time, eventually the odds will “catch up” and “even out”. If you caught a cold run of cards last night, you may get hot tonight. Then again, you may not. So, here’s the million dollar question:

Is it possible to somehow “control” the unpredictable nature of poker odds?

I have the answer.

And here it is…

No! Of course not! Are you crazy?!

This is the mistake amateurs make. They catch some good cards, win a few times, and then think they’re “poker naturals”. Then, they watch Rounders; maybe buy a chip set and some “casino” cards and start fantasizing about making it to the final table of WSOP. THEN, these players catch a BAD streak of cards. They run into some bad beats. They get beat by other amateurs.

And you want to know what they do after that? THEY WHINE ABOUT BEING UNLUCKY! But they forget the cardinal rule. And that is, TEXAS HOLD’EM POKER IS NOT ABOUT LUCK!
