need to know what you got and what your going after...........
The whole thing is this: Is Rhea there to make money or to learn? They are certainly two different things.
In my opinion, it would be unrealistic for Gene to expect to make much money with her at her current skill level.
i do understand exactly and i am trying all the time to get Rhea to understand.
One step at a time and the rest is methodically learning how this whole process works.
At one time I used to drive 20 miles around a casino to avoid going off. Then i learned to count cards and finally got kicked out of most.
I thought I could win back before i counted the cards but soon learned different. Once I learned how to count I realized how bad the odds were before when I was just trying to play and win.
Rhea can learn but it is a tough process and she asks me all the time if she should keep playing. When i told her yes last night she almost looked surprised. i had watched the last 2 sets and could see the other girl was pretty tired. Experience was right again but only because i had an ace in the whole.
I know i got a race horse and know when to take the plow off and when to put it on.
That's the difference in this business.
Just like cards. Kenny Rogers said it best in the song.
Know when to hold'em . Know when to fold'em. Know when to walk away , and know when to run.....
Pool players need to know this whole phrase and really think about it all the time.
Emotions can get you into trouble but sometimes they can help. This is when that heart thing comes into effect and the player outruns the nutz.
So some race horses you just need to give a little more rope. I used to be one of these and the players and friends that know me know the facts.
I can see Rhea outrunning the nutz here and there but the body, heart and sould have to all be in the right place. This is what i am trying to teach her and we'll just have to see how this story plays out.
Me with these pills for the siezures and getting some sleep now after 7 months of not, I might even be able to demonstrate a little heart first hand for Rhea.
I've been a beast for about 6 days now. Need to keep the beast mode for the bankroll, Rhea, myself and for the love of the game.
Without the love of the game none of this is possible.
Love the game....that is the SECRET...........
