Keeping the right attitude

Many successful players will be able to tell you how it is that just when they were doing great they suddenly made a big loss. This is the way of gambling. You can never be sure that you will always do great no matter how skilled you are. Therefore it is a good thing to keep a low profile and your feet on the ground. As long as you are playing mostly for the fun you will be able to take losses better. If you are dealing with big money you might want to stop yourself every now and then and ask yourself if it isn't time for you to "fold them", leave the table, count your money and enjoy it.
