MISTAKE #8:


Thinking You're A "Natural"
It's amazing how often I hear someone say, "I'm a natural poker player..."

What IS a "natural" poker player anyway?

The truth is, poker is an extremely complex and multi-faceted game. It involves math, psychology, body language skills, self control, performing under pressure, and a ton of other things.

The problem with thinking you're a "natural"-- just because you're good at reading people's faces or something-- is that it LIMITS your ability to improve.

No matter how good you are at poker, there is ALWAYS room for improvement. And in each respective area of the game, there's ALWAYS more to learn.

Not only that, but poker has been around for a LONG time...way before it started appearing on every TV station.

A lot of poker strategy has been DEVELOPED. There are step-by-step techniques, tricks, and "plays" that you can use to win more money at the tables.

These strategies won't just "come to you" like a little light bulb over your head.

Not a chance.

Instead, you've got to STUDY the game, talk to other players, and be constantly LEARNING more in order to push yourself to the next level.
