Little reminders to help your game

If you took a three inch piece of masking tape and stuck it to your computer to help you remember some of the things that you should be thinking about while in a hand. What would they be?

I do this for myself. I have, Posistion, pot odds, trust reads, flot texture, outs, etc.

Keep in mind that you have a three inch piece of tape to write whatever you want on it.

Right now I'd really only put one thing on there; "Don't be stupid!". Most all of my big losses come from me just doing something stupid. Doing something I know that I shouldn't be doing but I'm always sure it'll work THIS TIME. It never does. If i'd just remember to play solid ABC poker and don't do anything stupid, my win rate would jump A LOT. I'm sure that's not really what you were asking for but that's what I'd stick up on my monitor.

perfect. I just want to see what everyone would remind themselves as they play. things that should be automatic but sometimes just slip in the heat of a hand.

id put on my monitor QUIT LIMPING!!!!!

^^^^^ This and especially if chiefer is to my left.

What is my opponents range? Can I beat his/her range? Where am I at in this hand? What is the purpose of my bet, raise or check? What is my plan of action?

Perhaps you should read it once in awhile, LOL.

this wouldn't work for me. i'm always scrambling for something to write on and stick on the computer for reminders. it would, within a week, be full of "take out trash", "get beer and milk at store", "laundry! asap"

Mine is "Slow in the Middle". Helps me regroup when I get that massive chip lead in the beginning.

digital sticky notes are my reminder of choice.

Top 3 are;

1. Position
2. Don't play any cards I wouldn't be willing to call a raise.
3. What can beat me?

If I actually looked at it more often I'm pretty sure my game would improve.

I'd add several more onto mine...mix up your plays more so you're not sooo predictable...watch it when you're 'on tilt' ...try to remember this is FUN & only a game so DON'T take it personally...watch out for straights & flushes (& make sure that if you're going for a king-high flush that you DON'T lose 35,000 chips to a Ace-high flush )...and finally, watch out for 9's they've killed my all-in AA twice now ! Always remember that even AA is only a pair!

mine might read

Big decision? SLOW COUNT TO at least 5...

I would add two more to my list...If in doubt about any move... fold, and stop limping!

Good one. It's a big problem with some players. A lot of times a player will lose a decent sized pot and and then try to force your hands to win it back. Sit back, reevaluate and grind it back. Patience is key to this game for sure.

Dont be stupid would be my choice also.

I already have my advice, written on my t-shirt by Annie Duke, and hanging beside my poker chair: PLAY GOOD!! X0 :deal:

Can't ever wash that shirt tho...

Play smart, and not dumb....
Play in Position...
Raise or FOLD.

YES this is my kind of style Hard to stick unto though

Mine would read:
1. Avod going all in preflop
2. Don't get married to your premium ppr's
3. Be more aggressive in position
