And a question popped into my head, and I know this may be a dumb one but I have to ask.


Based off this passage:

"The professional player, on the other hand, KNOWS (I mean absolutely knows) that each hand is played in a vaccuum. The entire universe resets with each deal of the cards. Nothing that happened before affects what is happening now, from an "odds" standpoint. They play optimal play over and over. And if that doesn't give them the result they expected FOR THAT SESSION, then they go to bed without a second thought. They get up the next day and play exactly the same way. If
they don't get the RESULTS they expected, then they do it again the next day. (This assumes you know how to play poker, by the way, and you're playing correctly.) "

How does one know they are playing correct poker, if they don't base their play off of the results (such as actually making money). I mean, how does one know that he/she is playing correct poker? I am basing this off of someone who is fairly new to the game 1 year + max.
