First you play your cards then you play your opponants

Or as I say myself before going all in

In it to win it

I agree with this counsel and with your assessment of how it is often difficult to follow. As a good friend of Bear's, and someone who has played poker with him for a few years, I can confirm that he does live the words. I have never seen him lose his cool in all of the time that I have known him.

This is a good thread, it appears. Thank you muchly.

i'll add to this: pot committed means nothing if you know you're beat.fold.

 

[Sneaky Feet]

I have another one I was told a couple weeks ago.

Folding is still winning money.

I have that stuck to my screen and it sure has helped.

 

[PoKeRFoRNiA]

Poker is about capitalizing on villain's weakness.

 

[alext9000]

[murko]

Patience, timing, instinct and ability to fold
