To bet on winning poker, you must begin by believing in the power of the game:

Church of Holdem Psalm #2:

Winning poker often begins having a succeeding attitude.

Surely there’s far more to poker techniques than waking up on the right side of the bed and smiling as you wager on? Well, of course there is. Duh! But in order to fully grasp what I am talking about, you initial must know what you are up against in the earth of Internet poker.

Your common online Hold em player is really a loser. (In the standard, "losing money", instead of slang, "person you do not wish to associate with", sense of the word.) He or she will consistently bet on poker, because it’s fun. Occasionally, that man or woman will win a little. Extremely rarely, they’re going to win a chunk.

Most of the time, they’ll lose. Let’s say they lose $50 on average. Multiply that person by a number of million, and also you recognize how good, solid players make their living playing succeeding poker online.

When you ask these losing players what they’re performing wrong, they’re going to answer: "I’m just unlucky." Or, "Everybody knows that Internet poker is fixed." It has never occured to them to research the best way to win at poker for themselves. Poker methods are a foreign language.

Look deep inside these unfortunates and you can uncover a war between desire and experience. Hope is obtaining its butt kicked by expertise. Oh boy, and how. One day, they’re going to wake up and say either: "Screw this, I am going to waste my money carrying out something else," or, "Screw this, I need to find out how you can play better poker."

They will learn the truth about poker. It’s impossible to cease being a loser unless you think like a winner.

You must convince by yourself that you’re a winner. (Proof helps! You have to have concrete evidence of past performance too. Just wishing to be better is no great at all on its own.) Set by yourself easy, easily achievable targets, hit them and then quit for the day.

Why quit? Because you are going to have ended on a good note and so will discover it much easier to start off in a positive frame of thoughts tomorrow. Had a losing session? Never mind. It happens to everybody! Put it out of the thoughts and commence afresh tomorrow with (you guessed it) a winning mindset.

Once you might be used to beginning with a succeeding attitude, you’ll discover by yourself succeeding a whole lot more. Just do not forget to thank me for it whenever you do!

Here endeth the lesson.
