poker

The game of poker has captivated millions of people around the world. For some it's a way to have fun; for others, it’s an opportunity to tickle their nerves. For some players though, it’s their stable income.

Other writers don’t mention a very important requisite for poker success, your temperament when playing. More particularly, how do you handle the inevitable downturns and setbacks of poker? Anyone plays great when winning, goes the cardroom cliché. There’s a lot of truth in that. It’s how you play when losing, when everything seems to be going wrong, that determines whether you ought, in my opinion, to play. Certainly whether you ought to be playing professionally.
