Sometimes, playing Poker and relating it to life, things will sometimes not line up properly and create some losses. They do sting and can be frustrating, but the fact that you are still on the go is a testament to how we have so much to look forward to in life. It's just realizing it with patience and letting it go while staying in control from having self-discipline.
The only thing that's really keeping us from reaching our goals is really the amount of time we put into it. It does feel disheartening sometimes, and it's easy to think back not so long ago with how still having something would have made it easier to reach our goal. It's just that the moment is gone and what we could be doing about it is trying to reflect upon our mistakes and not repeating them again.
Sometimes, even though we have the best advantage at something, we still might not get it. Like on paper, I'm compatible with some ladies but they might be somewhere else and not about being with me for any reason. It's just something you have to accept while still chugging on through! This is the lesson I've learned from playing Poker with just play chips. I have over 250 million chips now and I blogged last month that I had at least 50 million. It's not bad. My current rank out of like 100,000 players is in the Top 200 range. I still have about 3 billion more chips to earn before I get recognized in the Top 10. It could even become more later on with the competition balancing each other out. We'll have to see, but I'm not going for the number one spot.
So far I have a system in place that's working quite well and seems to be highly related to the real world of Poker. It's interesting with how something so random comes with noticeable patterns shared by other players alike and you can manage your chips based on any card that lands on the table. It's something that just reacts to any given situation while taking on comfortable risks. If I lose, then it's pretty much an oh well and looking forward to the next opportunity and building my bank roll as I look to get to the top of my game. I'm not looking to be an elite player compared to all those great pros. I just want to do enough so I could have fun and make a decent amount to support my miscellaneous expenses.
