I don't play poker. I've never been good at it and I use my "win
   or die" brain mechanism for other things. However, they have a
   lot of insights about psychology, especially bluffing, even if
   they're too logical or "winning-y" for my tastes. A quick search
   on the 'net gave an article that said, "You bad at poker... yes,
   you." Now, in my mind I substituted the word "Life" for "Poker"
   because I wanted to see if I could learn something about Life,
   not Poker. I also mentally substitute other words like "money"
   with words that mean something to me. Here are some great gems -
   substitute some of the words in the quotes for other things that
   are bothering you. See if you can learn something too. I'm
   learning a lot about myself. A few good words can do that, if
   they're the words you're ready to hear. If mentally substituting
   words is a weak spot for you, and you happen to like poker, you
   can read the original instead as it was intended:

   But if you can mentally substitute your own words for the ones
   you read, give it a try and see if something helpful crops up
   for you. --Ken ==== I hate to be the one to break it to you, but
   I*m only doing this because I love you. You are not good at
   poker. You have a ton of huge leaks in your game. You
   occasionally make good plays and you know some basic strategy,
   but your thought process is bad and causes you to make a lot of
   mistakes. A great player would absolutely destroy you in the
   long run. Are you still reading? Good. Maybe there*s hope for
   you. The fact of the matter is, the above paragraph is true for
   about 95% of the people reading this article. Probably around
   75% of readers are saying to themselves, *Well, that*s not me.*
   (So, if you said that, you*re still favored to be bad.) That*s
   your biggest leak: your ego." ==== Why do you think there*s so
   much money to be made in poker? It*s because of people like you
   who think they*re good. They don*t bother to improve themselves
   or to be careful about the games they play in. ==== Since the
   smartest and best in the world routinely overestimate their
   ability, I*m urging you to consider the fact that you might do
   the same. Just say to yourself, *Maybe I*m not as good as I
   think I am. Maybe I have something to learn.* If it turns out
   that I*m wrong and you*re one of the best poker players in the
   world, no harm done. You*re so good that it doesn*t matter what
   I tell you. But, if it turns out that you have missed
   opportunities to improve yourself as a player because you
   thought you didn*t need it, maybe you*ll take this as a wakeup
   call. If you*re serious about poker * or anything else in life *
   you should constantly be searching for your mistakes. When you
   catch yourself making a bad play, you should be happy. Now you
   can fix it and become a better player tomorrow than you were
   today. So, hopefully you*ve come to terms with the fact that you
   may not be a flawless poker player. What*s the next step? ====
   If you have none of these leaks, perhaps you are more advanced
   than the average reader, but I assure you: You have leaks. Don*t
   give up on looking for them. The first leak, and one of the most
   important amongst even very successful players, is simply the
   lack of a thought process. Maybe I should say the lack of a
   sophisticated thought process. ==== This is far and away the
   biggest leak amongst winning players. *What? Winning players?
   Must not be a very serious problem then,* you might think.
   However you*d be wrong. The fact that they are winning players
   makes it worse because they assume nothing is wrong. ==== This
   is the point where I realize that the players I thought were
   decent had no idea what they were doing. ==== I couldn*t believe
   that these guys had fooled me for so long. I really thought they
   knew how to play. I realized then why I was fooled. They made
   plays that were correct most of the time. =====
