>"You can do everything right and still lose".
Super insightful and eye opening when I finally wrapped my head around it. The insightful and valuable corollary / takeaway I get from this is:
"But if you make the right move enough, you will win eventually."
Determination matters, in poker, in business, in whatever hobby you do. I've noticed this laddering Counterstrike and Overwatch. Individual losses are frustrating, especially when you feel you made the right moves. But if you keep making the right moves, you will eventually win more than you lose in the long run. You just need to have the determination and drive to stick with it.

- drjesusphd 8y agoIf you have enough knowledge, confidence in said knowledge, and the discipline to consistently apply it, you will know how much money is required to make it a near certainty that won't happen.
- bena 8y agoIt's also kind of the philosophy behind "fail fast and often". The outcome of any given decision is affected by so many things that all have to go right, it might as well be random, the only mistake is not making the decision. Eventually, things will line up if you just keep swinging.
