Oh and one other thing I wanted to mention that I read in a golf magazine a while back that stuck with me. A golf instructor was asked what kind of young teenage prospect he would like to work with to develop him into a great player. He responded that he would rather have a kid that made 7 birdies a round but shot 79 than a player that shot 72 and made 1 birdie.
The reason being is that its alot easier to teach a player how to stop making bogeys and turn them into pars and make saves than it is to teach the other player how to make more birdies.
I may be crazy but I think this can relate to poker. I seem to have a knack for getting alot of value out of good hands by getting guys with nothing or the 2nd best hand to call. I'm also good at feigning weakness and sucking guys all in when I have the nuts. Thus I think I'm like the golfer that makes alot of birdies but is undicipled and wild on other holes. I need to learn to identify when the other guy has me beat and lay it down rather than being stubborn and thinking my top pair is still good after he's called 3 times or re-raised me big on the river. If I can do that then I think the other "birdies" I'm making so to speak with help me shoot much lower under par (profit $$$)....lol
