The Learner and the Grinder

The difference between these two mentalities is also the gap between a microstakes

grinder and a high-stakes player. You should tackle poker as a competitive game and

strive to become better every day. It is not a mere vehicle that provides you with a

modest income. Simply changing your perception of the game will improve your skills

much more and much faster.

The“learner”willtrytounderstanddifficultpokerconceptsandtrytooutplayhis

opponentsHequestionswhathandsareinVillain’srangeswhathisraiseontheriver

means, what spots are best for check-raising, and a multitude of other situations that

arise in every session. He desires knowledge. He knows he can get better. He wants all the

edges he can get. He enjoys playing poker. Every bad beat is simply a result of variance.

The“grinder”onlywishestowinmoneyanddoesnotcaretoimprove his game. He is

content with his marginal winnings and taking money from the occasional fish. He plays at

the same stakes for months and even years. He may play 8+ tables and simply wait for the

nuts. He misses out on the small edges because he does not care to fight back. He may

want to fight back at times, but fails because he lacks the experience and knowledge.

Every bad beat results in anxiety or anger. He loses control of himself and his game

deteriorates. He is doomed to mediocrity. Poker becomes a grind.

I hope that after reading this bookyouwillfallintothe“learner”categoryIfyoufind

yourselfinthe“grinder”categorydon’tsweatYou’vejusttakenabigstepinimproving

your game by seeking more knowledge. Keep up your momentum.

I found myselfinthe“grinder”categoryforawhilewithoutrealizingitandhadtogrindit

out at the same stakes for months. Poker really became a grind. There was no more fun

playing the game that I used to stay up all night reading books and forum posts. Once I

became aware of it, I worked harder and improved tremendously within a few short

months. It was a lot more enjoyable and refreshing as well.

You will get from this book what you put into it. If you read it without applying any of the

strategies, then it is merely information. I cannot promise you a magic bullet, but I can

assure you that if you study the materials in this book and apply them, you will become a

better player—enough to beat your current game.

Remember, knowledge is not power; it is applied knowledge.
