Winning Consistantly

[Talking Poker]

This is actually a really bad strategy, and I'll tell you why.

Before I do though, let me tell you that a lot of people play like this, and I used to as well. I always wanted to log a winner, no matter what it took. The problem is you end up logging tons of small winning sessions and then occasional HUGE losing ones (where you oculdn't get back to even.

The biggest problem with this strategy is it has you quitting when you are winning (when you hit your $20) and continuing to play when you are losing (assuming you don't quit when you drop $20). And this is exactly the opposite of how you should play. When you are winning, it's often because table conditions are favorable to you, and when you are losing, it's ofdten because they are unfavorable. So................ when you are losing, you need to have the discipline to walk away and come back another day, but when you are winning, you should keep playing as long as possible - until the favorable table conditions change anyway, or you get tired/hungry or something like that.

Make sense?
