My appreciation goes out to everyone that read and then took the time to comment on my recent blog, "TAKE THIS GAME AND.."! I would like to clarify a couple of points where I feel I was misunderstood. First off, my reference to the WSOP, was made solely in an effort to help illustrate that luck can prevail, at any given time over experience. Luck, in of itself, without the benefit of skill can, although rarely, win poker tournaments. Skill, in of itself, without the benefit of luck, cannot. This fact cannot be disputed. Every players survival during a tournament, at least once, will be determined by the random turn of a card. The more skillful you are and the more knowledgable you are and the more experienced you are allows you the wisdom to avoid those hands where the odds are against you and to take advantage of those times when they are in your favor. This is the kind of player that consistantly travels deep into a tournament and by doing so is always a threat to win. However, every hand is not a Royal nor can we only play those hands where we possess the "nuts". Sooner or later, in order to build our stacks and move on, we must gamble. Granted, our experience will hopefully choose those situations where we have the advantage but, unfortunately, advantage does not mean guaranteed so therefore losing is always a possible outcome. Now, I am only talking about tournament play where there are no second chances. All other forms of poker regardless if it be online, live, in your living room or outside in the garage expierience and knowledge always prevails. Why? Because even though you can lose your stack to an inferior player a simple rebuy will give you another crack at him. In the long run bad players or those without a clue always lose. To Mr smarston and Mr TYRANT277 and Mr Swighey your success here on this site speaks for itself so I have no doubt that outside of this genre your all even more successful. I just wish you would all stay outside of this genre when I'm in a tournament. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
