Win
Money, Not Pots
Anyone can win pots,
but winning money is the aim of the games. Pots are only
incidental. If your goal is to win the most pots, that's
easy. Just play every hand and call every bet until the
bitter end, and you'll win every pot you possibly can. But
you'll lose a ton of money in the process. The very best
players engage in few hands, but when they get involved
they're usually aggressive - they maximize the amount they
win when the odds favor them.
If your goal is winning
money, don't look for reasons to play hands or you'll soon
talk yourself into playing too many. Money saved is just
as valuable as money won, so knowing when to release a hand
that appears to be beaten is just as important as knowing
when to bet. Remind yourself of this every time you sit
down to play poker!
