Professional Poker Bad Beats

October 10, 2008 - Success at professional poker comes down to ironies and contrarian thought. You must act directly opposite of those both in winning and in losing. You must completely shut down all emotions and develop yourself into a machine. You must be ruthless and cutthroat and without any feeling or emotion. You cannot afford to get happy and high and you most certainly cannot afford to get angry and on tilt. You must make yourself into a computer, a calculator, a blueprint of fundamentals.

With that being said this has led hundreds of thousands, if not millions of players, to share the same dream and goal; which is to go pro and make a living at playing cards. While there has never been a more opportune time to attempt a career at professional poker there has never been such fierce competition. So how can a player set himself apart from the masses of asses and be in the elite one-percent or so of players that actually make a living by playing poker? To stand apart you must separate yourself and, yes, stand apart!
