One or two pots over the evening all the difference?

[Talking Poker]

I think they key here is to not make 2 or 3 big mistakes in a given night, and instead, capitalize on the 2-3 big mistakes made by your opponents.

The former can cost you a lot of money, where the latter can earn you a lot of money.

In my example hand from last night, yes, I ended up on the losing end of things, but I played it beautifully, getting $1400 into a pot when I was something like a 90% favorite. Short term, anything can happen, but if and when I put myself in that situation enough over time, I'll come out way ahead for sure.
