Howard Lederer quote..."you've got to work it out on the table"
there's a difference between completely mental games and mechanical games

and I don't mean "mechanical" as in moving
for example, I consider checkers to be very mechanical because a lot of "reading" is practice through playing

same thing with StarCraft where the people who practice 16 hours a day beat the people who play 8 hours a day
but how come some people who have been playing poker for 15 years recreationally are bad calling stations? it's not practice, it is how much you know

if what you know is "I don't raise aces preflop because I'll lose a big pot or win a small one" does practice help you?
