Even if you just play free poker you’ll know that your pure game play skills are a major factor in your success, especially if you have any ambition to play for serious money. But have you ever considered just how important the types of games you play in relative to your skill levels are?For example, there's an old story about a poker pro who was the sixth best player in the world but never made any money. That was because he chose to only play against the top five best players in the world. The moral of the story is that you make money when you possess a clear edge over your opponents.
