Poker players are very nice people as a rule. They all want to win money. And some days they do win. And some days they lose. They come from all different parts of the United States and around the world. Male or female, young and old. Most of them play for many different reasons. To have fun, kill time, relax and more.
Poker players have different skill levels. Some of their skills are good and some bad. Most players really don't get better, from the time they first start playing until they die. Why is that, because as they play, they hear new things all the time. And they think they know, but they don't take the time to really study them. And really understand what they mean. AA's are the best starting hand in Texas. Most players lose more money with AA's than they win AA's. Some day I will write a book to really define how this happens.
Poker players use a combination of skills when playing poker. Just knowing some of the skill levels is understanding all of them is the way to play. Because some of the skills are more important than others. Pro's or hustlers know how to apply them at different levels.
Most books on playing poker are good. A few are excellent. But as far as I am concerned, they don't explain everything, in the right way. You read the book, some of it goes above your head, some goes between your ears and does not stay. The best example, one of the best book's written, I ask people when I am playing about one of the chapters. They say they read it. Then I ask them about one single item, like on how to bluff in no-limit. They read it. but really don't understand.
