Income Equals Winning

Think about the following scenario: you play three ring games in one night. In the first, you win three hundred dollars. In the second, you win three hundred and fifty dollars. In the last you lose five hundred dollars. That five hundred sounds like a big loss, doesn't it? Actually, it's not. In the course of the night, you're up one hundred and fifty bucks. It's important to think long term when playing poker for money. We are not just talking about the long term of a game, but in the total long term.
