I found out that Education is very important to make the right decisions in every situation. Having an education is a big advantage to win at poker tables because it help me build poker knowledge which leads to earning more and more money.

Poker is Just a Game

Poker is not like what you see on television

Poker is a game. Remember not to take it too seriously. You must respect your opponents. Do something else and do not play poker if you are bored, mad, and frustrated. Taking a bad mood to the table puts you at an even higher risk.

Do not expect things to be the way they are on TV. Be realistic and avoid daydreaming that you are going to be a millionaire. It is important to prepare yourself before playing and write a checklist of the things to do. You have to monitor your game, if you are playing win and making progress.

Professional players are good in handling their emotions and they know how to hide their intentions. They are good actors for it is hard to know what they are thinking or what can be their next move.

Poker can be extremely addictive. You have to limit yourself. You should know when to stop. You must keep yourself under control when playing poker. It is a struggle between you and Poker. You have to follow the right path and stay away from dangers and temptations.

It should be, You over Poker and not Poker over You.

Poker Tilt

All serious poker players can experience the worse in poker play due to emotions. The main reason of tilt is when a player failed to win the game. It is when a player feels upset and most of time they tend to bring their negative emotions in the poker table then it leads losing the game because of lack of attention to the game, they prefer to focus on negative thoughts.

Stress can also be avoidable if only a player will learn to drop his ego and wholeheartedly accept failure. It is impossible to prevent stressful situations but it is possible to manage minds to take control of stress before sitting at the tables. Some poker players have interest in other forms of game. For example, they play golf as their way of relaxing that can help them reduce stress.

Once a player learns to manage stress, this can lead to win the game. It could give a positive effect at the table. A player must avoid emotions to dictate his play and a stress-management activities should be part of the poker player’s routine. A poker player should use his brain and not his heart to play the game.
