If every time you played poker you played
your best, you would obviously win more money. You also would
not be human! But what you can do is make help yourself come
close to that.
Here is how..
Never just sit down and play poker - Always
give yourself 15-30 minutes before you play to assess your
goals, reinforce why you will win more than you lose and reflect
on the task in hand
Make a list of things that you concentrate
on in your game. Tell yourself to play 20% or less of the starting
hands. Write down that you must be patient at all times. Write
down the need to be alert and so on
Do not play when you have personal problems,
health concerns, money worries or anything else that may be
affecting your judgment
On the Internet, play your best by playing
more than one table, this may help you keep your patience and
play less starting hands. Live, take headphones or a walkman
can help you from not getting bored
If you make it your goal to play your best
game each time, you will have an edge over 95% of the poker playing
