According to a study conducted with regular poker players, by a statistics class at a leading university, poker players remember 85 percent of their losing games, but only 15 percent of their winning games.

The study was repeated the following year with a different group of regular players .... and the results were exactly the same!

Therefore, chances are you are much better than you think you are!

My problem on owies is to rethink and rethink how I could have played it differently on what I considered a sure win but wasn't lol The hard ones are the ones the river kills your fabulous hand.

In this case I would say it is better to remember the losing games because when you lose, then you can also learn, and continuing to learn is the key.
