Any Given Session

Every poker session falls into one of four categories:

1. You played like shit and you lost. You feel bad.

2. You played like shit but got lucky and won. You might feel bad about how you played, if you care about your skill in the game, but you'll keep the winnings anyway.

3. You played good but got unlucky and lost. You might feel satisfied about your play, but losing still sucks.

4. You played well and won. This is one of the main reasons I keep playing poker. Playing well and winning is extremely satisfying, if you're a real poker player.

Amen to this. I played well in two small home game tournies and the cash game last Saturday - Got sucked out on in both the tournies and the last hand of the cash game -- I pplayed well but lost and was PO'd. Looking forward to playing the luckboxes again though :)
