Learning How To Lose

Added on by C. Maoxian.

The great Chip Reese:

“I think one of the most important qualiites to be a top poker player at a top level over time is learning how to lose. When I was young in my career in Las Vegas, I got broke a lot of times the first three or four years I was here because I couldn't quit. I think one of the qualities that we all have is that we are very competitive and we don't like to lose, so when you're young and you're just starting out and you get into a game and you get behind, you just feel like you've gotta get even that day, and it's a very desperate, terrible feeling, and it takes a long time to get over that and some guys never get over it.”
