well the name of the blog couldn't fit me any more. i spent the past month getting from 100 --->700 only to tilt it all away.
but it feels different this time. i'm a better player (hopefully) thanks to all the good advice that is thrown around across these forums.
anyway i'm pretty much starting this blog to pretty much keep track of my knowledge and to refigure out everything in this game of poker. i plan on really dissecting all aspects/decisions. soooo hopefully some of you will help me out.
after tilting alot of my money away, i started to think, what it takes to become a good poker player and i think its rather simple:
1) discipline
2) patience
3) knowledge
i think it takes discipline to save your last 15 bb when you know you never have the best hand, to stop yourself from tilting money, to resist the urge to call bets and use "implied odds" as a cop out.
i think it takes patience and understanding that you can not make money over night. i need to remove this feeling of entitlement, just because i'm a better player than my opponents doesn't mean i deserve to win. they pay the same price to play the game, they are allowed to do w/e with their money. i need to be patient and let the money come to me, instead of chasing after the money.
lastly i think it takes knowledge. a 2 part knowledge of the game. 1 is being able to piece the puzzle, and properly hand read. making proper value bets and proper decisions during the hand while playing poker. i think the second type of knowledge happens away from the poker table, reading more indepth analysis that may include math based analysis, to 1st person accounts/memoirs. for instance me and my friend used to argue about esp. in brunson's super system, he talked about rushes and esp. i'm a pretty math based kinda guy so i kinda scoffed at the idea of esp/rushes saying it's just variance. my friend countered with "so you don't take the word of a guy whose played poker his entire life?" i still think it's a load of bull shit, but their might be a speckle of corn in that bull shit. maybe positive thinking/rush makes you play better and it just carries over into out playing opponents with no cards, and then picking up good cards and getting paid. anyway kinda went off topic a little bit. so there. my 3 tenants to winning this game.
i'm not anyone special or famous but uh i just wanted to say thank you to each of the following (to me they have been the most helpful) (in no particular order)
edzwoo (good advice + he's funny)
sicks macks (seems pretty good natured + good advice)

Really like your post, I agree with your breakdown of important parts of the game.
As far as Brunson's "rushes."
I think of a lot of things with a math perspective too. But think of this.
There are 2 angles.
1st- When you are winning pot after pot, you gain a form of momentum that that is entirely socially constructed. The other players are more likely to fold because they see you winning pot after pot. Of course, not all players will react this way, some might be more inclined to look you up, so play accordingling
2nd- Math idea-
What are the chances that your AA and KK are actually spread out through all your hands evenly? Over time you should get AA just as much as everyone else, but to have them in EXACTLY even intervals (see top graph) would be the same chance as having them ten times in a row and then not for a long time. So maybe your good and bad cards flow sinusoidally, with different frequencies and wavelengths depending on chance. Now, this is no way says that if you get 5 good hands their is a higher chance of your next hand being good- Because we know the chance of it being good or bad is 50:50. However, if you sit back and say what are the chances of my good hands and bad hands being evenly distributed over the next 10,000 hands I think the likely-hood is pretty low. But if you say what are the chances over the next 10,000 hands I am going to have different rates of good and bad hands at different intervals then this is basically every possible scenario except an even distribution. Running good is when the frequency is high and running bad is when its low. Check out the figure- I know its rough, i made it in like 2 seconds
