Poker is a relatively simple game. The object is to win more than you lose. Statistically speaking, we all get the same amount of good hands and bad hands. It’s how you play them that will determine if you’re a winning player or not.

Following that logic, you’d think that the more hands you win, the more your profit, but it’s a little more complicated than that. If you win 70% of the hands you play to showdown and on each hand you win £10, but you lose £25 in the remaining 30% of hands you lose at showdown, you’ ll quickly find your stack dwindling.
