You need to have a plan in place in poker with regards to how you are going to make money. Remember that the games are raked and so you essentially have to “pay to play”. This is different to playing poker at home or down at your local pub and suddenly poker is more like a business than a game where you have overheads. This means that you need to have a business model in place for how you are going to play poker but yet too any people are simply spinning their wheels so to speak and merely sit down at any table and play the game.
They blindly expect weak players to just give them money but this process has two huge flaws attached to it. This is that if you have absolutely no indication of how good you are or your opponents then you are going to be in a situation where you are not as good as you think you are. The result of this is that the big edge that you thought that you had was nowhere near it. Also there is a tendency to underestimate our opposition as well. This also can be fatal in poker and if you are doing both at the same time then you are going to get crushed.
So this means that you need to be aware of where the value is coming from and if you don’t know then you are guessing and if you are guessing then you will be sheer definition guess wrong a lot of the time. So design a plan and make it so that the way to make money is crystal clear.
