Just reading this poker psychology book and they say : Poker is a game of both skill and luck. Everybody thinks mastering the skill is the hard thing, but it's actually easy compared to mastering the luck ...
Played one game yesterday and it's true ..
Part 1 , the skill

Ofc some would say why do you call here but i'm 100% sure he doesn't have a J, so he has 9 , 1010 or str8 or flushdraw . So in either case i'm a huge favourite in this hand postflop.
lol at putting in 485 of 1500 stack with 23hh with a raise UTG and 2 allinns ahead ( tho short ).
As said we need to embrace these plays !!!
Tomorrow off to first live game ver , plan on taking it down ( hope so ).
Cheers
