I find if I have positive expectations I tend to play much better. If I am not comfortable, I tend to play worse. If I have no expectations, I tend to play looser and generally much worse.

to enter a game without waiting for the victory I wouldn't even enter, you always have to think that you can do more

I expect to lose all my chips. I always do unless I win first.

There is always much to learn by watching the other players in a game. Knowledge is power.

I think you got lucky a couple of times and you call it a surprise

Yes, I think that sometimes it's better to start with few expectations, that can reassure you during the game and make better decisions. The same thing happens to me

I think playing without expectations is the best way and brings better results

When I play poker, I don't expect to finish first in the tournament. But there is hope for a prize place. Do not expect big wins from the game, as a result of losing comes a big disappointment.

Good afternoon everyone, every time I played Mtts that are at higher limits than I usually play I had good results and the main factor for that was playing without worrying about the result, I mean playing without expectations. micros and won a ticket to play a $50 entry Mtt, I thought about playing just to get to day 2 of Mtt, but I finished day 1 in 6th place out of 470 players and in the overall ranking among the top 100 of day 1, already on day 2 I finished in the 96th position, but I played very conservatively to get to Mtt as far as possible, with KK I played call vs villain with more chips than me. I was 96th in an Mtt with over 14,000 players excellent As a result, I won $800, my biggest prize to date, the 1st place won $50,000. As a rule, every time I play without expectations I get good results and every time I play with the intention of winning I don't get good results, so it's poker to get good results you play very smoothly, had fun ing and not playing pressured.

From time to time I have that luck, but mostly I have played risking a lot or playing to win.

Usually when you are completely immersed in the game - then the best result, and when you are fixated on winning, then everything does not go according to plan :(
