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.
