Poker As A Long Game
Zen and the Art of Poker talks about making peace with breaking even. It discusses that you should have a neutral expectation when you sit down. If you keep getting rag hands you keep folding, simple as that. If you think just because you have been getting rag hands for 2 hours and you have paid your dues to the folding gods or something think again. Thats not a good enough reason to start playing marginal hands, keep folding.
You need to look at the game of poker as one long statistical run that never ends. Correct mathematical play will win out in the long run.
I of course need to practice what I preach. I’ve been thinking session by session and playing marginal hands lately. Going to tighten up and master TAG play before I even think about doing small ball.
