I think there are a lot of people that think they're good players, but in fact are lucky. You can catch cards for a period and think your s*** doesn't stink, then it turns and you are falling apart. I for one think I'm an OK player, but know I can play better. I feel as though I'm in school, I want to get to college level, but overall I'm probably a jr. high player. If I keep learning, I know I can get to the point where I could play against the best, but right now there;s no way. I make bad plays, get into situations I have no reason to be in, just play bad. As long as I realize that I'm doing these things, I think it's ok, I know what I did wrong and can learn from it. If I acted like every beat was BS and the other guy was a donkey, then maybe I would be a person playing the best they could, but still never be great. If you think you're the best player in the world and get beat after beat, you better reevaluate yourself.
I'm still learning, even 4 years into playing this, I'm not comfortable enough to play $1000 buy in tourneys yet, but want to, then proceed. I have a goal to play in a big WPT tourney in about 3 years, I don't want to play until I think I'm actually able to do very well, not luck into the money, but actually handle some of the situations that present themselves. As long as you realize that this game can never be mastered, you just need to learn to ride it like a bull, you'll never conquor the bull, but if you play things right, you can stay on top of it for a long time.
