This really made my day

So as Ive mentioned before, I am obsessed w/ poker and one of my all time poker idols is Mike Caro. He is known as the Mad Genius of poker and my style of play is largely based on his writings, books etc. He is amazing. I owe a great portion of my winnings to what he taught me.

He recently wrote an article you can find here:

Hi, Leah –

It sounds like your disposition is right for a long-term poker career.

Just remember, there WILL be frustration, and losing streaks — even for the best players, sometimes long ones — are inevitable. It’s how you handle these that matters.

In the long run, the more correct decisions you make and the more hours you play in favorable games, the more money you’ll earn. Keep your focus, whether things are going good or bad. Your job is to make good decisions. Someone else’s job is to decide who gets which cards.

Thanks for the positive comments!

Straight Flushes,
Mike Caro

Ok so I know it was just a mere comment back BUT I am totally jumping up and down about it. Poker stars are like celebrities to me and when I get any kind of response as miniscule as it may be, I really hold it dear to my heart. That may sound lame to most but I think its great :)
