Beginners in the process of growing in their card journey often ask themselves questions like these: How can I know if I'm becoming good? What methods can I use to measure my progress? How do I know when it's time to move to the next level?
What's sigh-worthy is that many people only rely on short-term results to answer these questions.
In a person's growth process, results are actually the least reliable measure. Winning one game or tournament doesn't necessarily mean you're an excellent poker player. It's possible, but it's not guaranteed, as luck plays an undeniable role in poker.
If you can maintain a consistent profit over a long period, which we define as at least 1,000 hours, that may demonstrate that you're a long-term winning player. However, it's still not enough to answer the initial questions. To determine if you're getting better, consider the following four signs:
1. You no longer quit playing out of boredom.
2. You no longer fold casually before the flop.
3. You have your own reasoning behind most betting decisions.
4. You care more about your hole cards than how much money you win. |
