Talent is an ambiguous word. The extent to which a person’s potential is revealed depends on the goals that person sets. Nobody ever relied on pure talent, unless their output was entirely spontaneous or simplistically minimalist. What distinguished the greatest players in any discipline has always been their willingness to be talented, their willingness to train themselves. Most people have potential and know what talent is, but they either romanticize it or knowingly avoid it, preferring an easy life.

Top players take a hard look at their abilities and do not run from the strenuous and unfamiliar. They are their own best critics and care about becoming ever better at whatever it is they do. The big winners. as well as everyone else that plays the game. have a sense of what talented play is relative to current poker tradition. What separates them is that they reach beyond whatever talent they have to impose upon themselves a rigorous pattern of discipline.

The successful player gains experience by playing the game constantly and learning from all those hands. This is how they develop the best methods of play in many different situations.

Undisciplined talent relies on luck. Amateur players rely on luck. They play for the thrill of a game of chance. The disciplined talent is determined to reduce chance to the minimum. The professional is not interested in simple thrills, with occasional gain. The good player’s purpose is to empty your pockets every time, regardless of whether you are an amateur or a pro. Pro’s pitch themselves against Chance and against another pro’s proven method.

Method begins with self-analysis. If you can’t stand recording your weak points, you will never learn. Indeed, many people cling to activities they are no good at and will not be convinced that they would do much better at some other game or practice. Often people are so much interested to be actually good at something as to indulge the fantasy of good living. That is why there will always be good business in poker for the professional player.

The first thing a professional poker player does is to decide which poker to play. Limit poker does not engage the same faculties as non-limit poker. It requires patience and caution to play limit poker successfully, since it takes time, requires gradual building up of advantages and information. To be successful at non-limit poker it takes the opposite kind of discipline: a seemingly recklessly maintained aggression which is at the same time well controlled and calculated.

The “talented” non-pro is unable to put constraints on himself, a very common shortcoming. Their focus is on how well they play poker completely ignoring the strategic advantage of getting out when all the signals are there for them to observe and act upon. A good player will not dwell on his “goodness” but will nonetheless maintain a constant winning track record. Being no narcissists, they will know when to fold and do so immediately.

Everyone will find themselves in hot water on occasion, the pro clearly identifies the situation and will get out before the water becomes even hotter. The last of his worries is losing face.
