[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1481906, member: 15309"]Jason, Poker is still gambling. You are not playing against the house edge, but unless you are an established professional, the edge is unknown and it is very possible for you to sit in a game, be an underdog, and not even know it. Don't assume that because you know how to play that you are a favorite to win. The keys to being a successful professional poker player are bankroll management, game selection, and emotional control. 5 years ago, all I had to do was simply show up and win. It is not so easy these days. Many of the fish have busted and don't play anymore. Many more fish have dropped down in limits. And the remaining fish have improved their poker skills. What I am saying is that all of the live games in Atlantic City have gotten much tougher over the last few years. If you don't play here very often, you might not notice right away. Okay, gotta go to work. My $20/$40 LH seat is waiting. Paul[/QUOTE]
