Casino Poker is an easy game to learn, but it's a difficult game to master. It is estimated that of all the people who play poker seriously, only one out of twenty is a regular winner in the long run. Nineteen out of twenty players are life-long losers at the poker table. It's not that these nineteen players are idiots, or can't learn the game, or can't read poker books to try to learn to play better. Most poker players have great intelligence, and a lot of them do read poker books and magazines to improve their games. The problem is the game of poker itself. Poker, while being deceptively easy to deal, is extremely hard to play correctly all the time.

There are easily over one hundred separate skills you must master to become an expert poker player. Every skill that you master will have a positive impact on your game in two ways. First, when you possess a particular skill that you can use against your opponents, and your opponents do not have that same skill, you will win money from them (in the long run) in those situations. Second, when you possess that skill and your opponent does also, you will not lose any money to him (again, in the long run) when that particular situation arises.
In other words, having certain skills will make you money when the other players don't have those skills and it will keep you from losing money when they do have those skills. When you hear people say that a certain player has a "leak" in his game, they mean that he lacks a certain important skill, which is why he's losing a lot of money.

What does this discussion have to do with keeping records? I have taught many people how to play Texas hold 'em. I also know many self-taught poker players. Between the two groups, I know a lot of poker players, and I think I know who the overall winners and losers are. I'm sure that most of these players are keenly interested in improving their games, and I know they work hard at it.
