“The best defense is a good offense.”

You have to understand that the nature of this game is one that combines skill and luck. In the short term, anyone could beat anyone else on a given night. An absolute “newbie” could sit down and bust out Doyle Brunson on a single night – but you’d have to chalk that up to sheer luck.

This is very common for almost all beginning poker players, so don't worry too much!
