:biggrin: Good advice.
Mine would be "don't chase", it just bleeds off valuable chips.

I do wish all the river rats would stop chasing me down.

Why? Don't you want them to be calling down value bets? (while not getting the right price)

Yes but not when they hit the river.
How do you plan ahead? Do you go in with a very specific plan like I am only going to play these hands and things like that?

I actually think I know what you are saying here. Its the won't that threw me off for a sec.
Every time I fold that crap hand it hits and when I chase nothing.

Get your money in while you are ahead unless you are on a tight table,
Then just make them fold

I remember the circumstances like it was yesterday. I had just got in the car and I met a poker player. Our destination? It doesn't really matter. We were tired but neither of us could get comfortable enough to sleep. We shared a drink and a smoke and that's when he dropped his knowledge on me.
Just wish I could remember what he said....

Well that was the point now wasn't it.
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life, out of readin' people's faces
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right"

Okay so I should do the opposite of these suggestions. Or are the poker players going to post good advice to throw me off. I just don't know what to believe.
Beer actually does help me listen to my instincts.
