Follow the laws of averages, play the cards that give you the best possible outcome, bet the hands you need to bet, next hand is the goal, until that final table smacks you in the face and you can see the end result.

Me, I just won the daily 100 using these rules.

I had to search about law of averages, and in my opinion, anger is the most difficult to avoid in poker.

Avoid the three A's and focus on the three C's:

• Cool
• Calm
• Collected

Sometimes easier said than done... :laugh:

No, they're not the bad aces!

A6, A7, A8 & A9 are the 'bad' aces..

With A2/3/4/5 you can make the wheel! :wink:

Definitely a lot of truth in this. Often the difference between big winning players and slightly winning or breakeven players is mostly in the mental game. Your flopped set is going to lose to a rivered flush or straight on a regular basis, and if you go on massive tilt, every time it happens, you are setting yourself up for failure at the tables.

Yes, learn to calculate outs and odds, and everything else will eventually fall into place.

Every style works. Just it dosn't work everytime, nothing does that. The trick is to come up with a game plan and stick to it. You will see that at the end of about 20 tournaments how many times where you ITM FT or even maybe won the tournament. Then you will see for yourself. If it is not to your satisfaction then make the adjustments, but always give those adjustments a chance In various tournaments and see If you want to keep changing or stay like that for awhile. Good luck. Remember try to change every so often if you keep playing the same people.

I totally agree, although on the days when you are a little angry, if I managed to work mentally and absorb it to a significant degree, I managed to make some profit.

But in general, the tip is perfect.
