He explained to me that if he had been dealt my cards that night, he would have made at least $1000. He remembered every hand and how I played it and how I could have played it differently to maximize my winnings. Given bad cards, a real player will lose less than he should. Given good cards, he will win more.
It was a great lesson, but it sort of killed my enthusiasm for the game.

A good friend of mine in So CA is one of those that is a consistant winner...he tells me he can't remember shyte, as he has CRS.
The question I have is what limit were you playing? If you were playing in a lower limit game you must have been really lucky that night as evertyhing was coming your way...
Problem in the lower limit games is that there are so many dingbats that don't have the common sense to fold when a seasoned player makes a move..If you have 4 dingbats going all the way to the river with you on every hand..one of them is going to hit his inside straight...
