This post is not about a splinterlands monster or the game basics but it is all about being able to play wisely and attain the top position in the leaderboard on splinterlands.

When I joined to play way back in December, although my account had been created long back, I was not even sure what Melee meant. I remember asking my son to play and he explained the basics to me.  I was so happy that I had played well enough to reach Silver III. 

As time progressed, I realized that I would need more monsters to play better and that is where Panda, the all-rounder of monster-market helped me by delegating giants like the Kraken with whose help I could use the water splinter to reach gold level. 

### Fast forward and now my deck is really good but the question is - Am I a good player at all?

### how skilled am I in playing splinterlands?

If players in the top used my deck, they would probably enable it to reach champ level. 

I had considered leasing to the Team Share group but since I love playing, I decided not to do it and try and make myself more skilled and learn more tactics.

### My question is - Have you ever considered quitting the game because you felt you were not good enough?

### Do you consider yourself a good player?

## Share a tip and earn yourself a surprise gift - it could be a card, hive, or dec but please share only a good enough tip
