Tilt

It is more important to know truly know yourself than to know the game. An hour of your C game can wipe away a day of A game play. Only play cash games when you are ready to focus and play your best.

I agree with this totally. It took me a long time to manage and understand tilt.
The best advice I ever got was to learn to manage tilt. It requires a shift in mindset. I think it was one of the many Schoonmaker books that made me realise that when people suck out on you through bad play it's these people that your money eventually comes from.

If you frequently don`t have 'all in' kind of luck with cards as pair of kings, than stop playing- it`s not game for you.

Don't take your guns to town

Best advise I ever had was, "don't take your guns to town".

No, just kidding, was told by several peeps, that I should not play poker because I suck at the game. And, they were correct. But, I have not taken that advise.

Stop breaking everything around you when you lose. Me.

 

[deluns28]

Its something like..

Play 1 step ahead of you opponent. Play tight if the table is loose and vice versa.

My winning advice.

Don't play the hand unless you're going to win.

 

[bigjay2007]

In MTT, play aggressively with good cards around the bubble. Many players are content not play and just make it to the $$$. This seems to be one of the only things that works for me these days. I truly love playing poker and despite frustration, I have fun at the tables. p.s i don't use $$ that i don't have.

I heard it on rounders, and ever since it has helped me because I get up from strong tables, but Matt Damon said if you can not spot the sucker in the first 30 minutes then you are the sucker. It is very true, because there is always one giving away money or being easy to pick off. I like this and all of the advice I have read here is very solid.

Post below the best advice you heard regarding poker, and who said it!

Those who chase straights and flushes go home on greyhound buses--- Older gentleman on 7-card stud.

You can NOT win the tournament on the 1st day, but U surely can lose it--- Gentleman who got tired of me raising his big blinds.

To practice proper bankroll Management never bring more than 3-full buy-ins to the casino & always leave your ATM card at home--- Friend who saw me going to ATM.

Why ever play 72? Even if you have 8 others playing and you are in SB why call because you automatically are guaranteed that the other 8 players are already beating you. Barry Greenstein (Ace On The River).

I like this one. Very useful.

fold or raise never call, this is the best one i´ve heard, and the most useful i think

What? That seems like horrible advice.

 

[PokerFunKid]

Keep patience. You can't win the tournament in 1 hour. But you can lose it in 1 hour. ( poker pro, forgot who said it )

 

[jumanur]

play for fun, not for money
