A skilled player can bluff you off a good hand or push you out with aggressive betting. I'm not that good, I just enjoy playing. The art of reading people, betting, and bluffing seems to be something you pick up after you've played the game awhile. Good point Tim.

I find if you play tight you can usually hang around pretty long. If you never hit a big hand the blinds will eventually eat you up but the longer you play, the better your odds of finally getting a winning hand. Well, now you’re ready for next time Art!

I agree with you, on a typical night I fold way more hands than I play.

I am happy if I am in the pot once each time around the table, and my goal is merely to make my blinds each time around. If I don't have cards, then I will take the hit, because the hands that I do play are going to generally bring in quite a bit more than the blinds.
