The Never Ending Game

If you are settling down to play a game of cash game poker what is your goal?

It will be a different goal for different people but for professional poker players the goal is always the same – to make as many correct decisions as possible.

For the professional poker player using the dollar sign as a metric for success is often flawed. Every experienced professional poker player knows that they can play bad and still win.

When you are playing cash game poker and checking out the Betfair Promo it is a good idea to continually affirm to yourself that the game never ends. The setting may change, the rules may change slightly and your opponents may change but it is essentially one big long game of poker.

There is a good reason to think this way – it helps you to learn to fold more often. Your win rate will grow exponentially if you can learn to fold in the correct spots more often. Having the mindset that your game has a specific time frame around it can cause disruption in your logic.

Here are some examples.

You have planned to play in your usual Tuesday night home game. You start at 19:00 and finish at 03:00. At 02:00 you are down four buy-ins, at this point of the night – if you do not understand that poker is one big long game – you are likely to make more incorrect decisions in order to try and win your money back – go home even!

The following week you find yourself up four buy-ins in the first hour and decide to go home to protect your winnings. You were up because you were either getting very lucky or playing very well – why go home?

Those looking at the Betfair poker code should know that each decision is unique and Poker is a game for life.
