		<description>Great blog pal! I don&#039;t have any idea how I will rate myself as a poker player. Maybe 3 in no limit holdem or maybe 2. I&#039;m still a beginner though. Catch my site and see some great poker player views.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;How often are you playing against Chip Reese???&lt;/i&gt;

You don&#039;t.  But the point is that your rank is not as relative as you think.  Being the best football player in your school doesn&#039;t mean that you&#039;re even in the top 50% in your state or the top 80% in the nation.

It&#039;s easy to think we&#039;re good but the question is; compared to what?  If you want to be a level 10 player then just go play .50/$1 the rest of your life.  Easy!  You&#039;re a 10 compared to them.  If you want to be a level 7 player against all poker players then one would need to compare themselves to Chip Reese.

Just for perspective, in Barry G&#039;s new book he states that $20/$40 and below is low limit poker.  :-)</description>

		<description>Does the rating allow for negative numbers?  I&#039;m not as good as I think I am, and at the same time, I know I&#039;m better than my play would indicate.  I suspect lots of players are in the same spot.</description>
