Never stop learning. There is constantly an evolving meta that needs to be studied and understood. This game will constantly evolve and the only way to stay relevant is to keep your thumb on the pulse. Like any skill, you never stop mastering it. Continued education to put it into 2 words.

I think the best advice I have received come from Bear when he sent me the tread about playing poker like it is war. And I'm going to start playing like that. I will be thinking my plays through and go back to playing tight most of my game.

Best advise
I don't know if it is the best advise, but two things stands out;
Don't always wait for a monster hand to play the hand. If one waits, just for the monster hand, they will most likely lose in the long run. Play media hands and try to make them pay.
Always, watch the habits of the players, don't just play your cards.

Don't Stay in a Hand Just Because You're Already In It
Another common mistake beginners make is to think that "Well, I've already put that much in the pot, I have to stay in now." Nope. You can't win a pot just by throwing money at it. There may be cases when pot odds warrant a call, but if you're sure you're beaten, and there's no way your hand can improve to be the best hand, you should fold right away. The money you've already put in the pot isn't yours anymore, and you can't get it back just by playing a hand all the way to the end.

As far as the best advice I ever heard? Literally the best advice I ever got is a tie between Dags telling me to jump into the $20/$40 limit game at Foxwoods, and then my friends telling me to stop playing $20/$40 limit and come play this crazy "No limit" game. I never have and likely never will make more money than what those two comments did for me. Each was a huge stepping stone in my path.
As far as traditional thoughts on "best advice" it's simple and I repeat it all the time: Think for yourself

have a reason for your actions
i cringe everytime i see the small blind min raise when there are a bunch of people in the pot....if you have aces you are not protecting them enough given your position, and if you have 34s you just gave yourself worse odds and you have the worst position

Learn to manipulate your "image" on the table, play the player, above all it's a business, therefore treat it as such! Personally, discipline was the hardest aspect of the game for me to master. Learning to become objective, rather than emotional has also helped to elevate my game.

Good one, getting bad beat should actualy make you feel good. You made the right decision with the best hand. But you got out lucked aka bad beat. Don't hate the donkey, hate the game. And never give up with shortstack dont just shove. Even with under one bb left you can win.
