Making Excuses -The Knock Out Curse

Several online players exhibit self destructive tendencies and sometimes blame endless demons for their being knocked out. There is no point blaming your fate or dealers who have set up the games. The players need to understand that there are several unseen forces there, like poor internet service providers. The players need to be watchful of their lack of ability, their learning skills and commitment to the task also, before putting the blame.

There are several software programs that enable tracking of card distribution, strengthening of winning hands, win levels of rivals and so on. Still, there are players who believe in those fantasies, and it may not be possible to reason and change them. .

Yet, there are large numbers of such fantasy players in the world and play online games and take part in casino tournaments. The world of online poker games has opened up a wide range of opportunities to many new players. Some of them are very poor in playing, but they do not admit it at all. .

The number of online players is increasing tremendously. Some of these new players claim that the online games are tough. This is probably because they are poor at game selection or they do not play their game well. At the same time, there are several players who work hard and succeeded in emerging winners in games with higher limits and multi table tournaments. .

Many new players think that they can just play and win starting from the first game. According to Woody Allen, poker is a game that needs to have appropriate skill, hard work and discipline, without these, it becomes a path to lose. It is difficult to discipline and it is rather easy to create excuses. This is the main reason why we have a large number of losers and very small proportion of winners in online poker games. .

Another point is that poker is a game of fluctuations and even the best winning player may sometimes meet with very bad failures. And, players who preoccupy on booking only winning sessions may also face a problem. There might be a winning proportion of about 75% only in such cases also. When a person faces a cashout, they lose the game. Such situations are very common and even the best players sometimes face losing sessions. .

For break even players, they need to understand that they might lose about 50% of the games. There might even be cases, where such a player has to face two or sometimes three failures in a row. Their artificial, small bankroll might suffer in such cases. But, they might win one or more games to compensate for that. .

Though this is the way the game works, many players find it difficult to deal with. In the case of online players, they may win two days together, and the next day, they might have lost the game so badly that they have a short bankroll. On the day they lose, they may be talking of demons and cashouts. These are excuses to make new excuses. .
