What's the most important thing you've learned from visiting here?

[melioris]

I most valuable thing I that I have learned from this forum (so far) is not to be so short term results orientated. I am finally starting to understand that the only way money is made playing poker is from exploiting the bad play of opponents. Everyone gets the same opportunities, and so whoever plays the best poker, maximizing rewards while minimizing risk, will be the most successful. Although it isn’t often stated this way, a lot of the advice on this forum has to do with thinking about things in terms of EV. So I am trying to develop a style of play that focuses on identifying positive EV situations and acting strongly in these cases while avoiding negative EV situations. This forum helps me play poker soundly and not focus on the immediate results as the mathematics demand that sound poker playing be rewarded by long-term results.
