You're never going to keep me down. It seems to be, with pots being awarded nearly every minute, but the truth of the matter is winning poker is all about the long-run.
Most players lose.
This is no coincidence. Players should normally gear their decisions toward what is best for the long run and not fall victim to the temptations of the moment. A few weeks later this player is busted. Keeping your eye on the prize, regardless of momentary circumstances, is a poker skill with a definite dollar value. Absent luck and assuming some skill, perseverance on an even keel is what gets the money.
