Earlier I said that expecting to lose was a good thing, something that you should be happy with, and I stand by that. It is always good advice for a newer player.
But as you get some experience under your belt, and even though you might still be paying your dues, so to speak, still paying for your education, you now have to adjust your ‘losing’ attitude a bit.
When you know how the game is played, and how to watch the table and the other players, you should still accept that you may lose, but you should not go into a game expecting to lose.
Losing while learning is one thing, but losing due to ‘bad luck’ or ‘the cards being against you’ is a total nother thing.
I don’t know how realistic it is to think that your attitude can affect the outcome of a random number generated online card game, but I’m willing to err on the side of caution.
If yo are not in the right frame of mind, if everything is going wrong, or , worse, you NEED to win, then that is the real wrong time to play poker.
So, I guess in essence, accepting that you could lose is way different to expecting that you will lose.
