Best Poker Advice ever?

Thats along the same lines as the advice I gave. Which was:

Some people dream about success,
others wake up and work hard for it!

It is very good advice indeed. So many players fall into the trap of only seeing the money that could be won. And instead of working hard to learn, they fall into the "magic bullet" trap, then complain about bad beats and bad luck when they loose. When in reality they have no understanding of the underlying concepts of how to play and how money is actually made in the game.

For the record I said 'You should not be cold calling MANY hands......' - not never cold call becasue that would be silly......(and I am just quoting HEFAP anyway.....)

The BEST poker advice given to me is DISCIPLINE, POSITION, PATIENCE, and KNOW THE MINDS,STRENGTHS,WEAKNESSES OF YOUR OPPONENTS to attack MERCILESS. With that, you are able to read hands and play THEM, not your wholecards.

best advice i ever got pertaining to poker was from a lifelong pro who didnt even live within ten hours of a casino or cardroom. He had to just find games in his hometown (sending three kids to college , paying off his house and everything else whle not working a real job for more than forty years; He said,

....Anybody can be a good poker player, but it's what you do in between that counts.
It's not advice on how to play better but to be smart and not start spending money like a druglord just because you are good.

You've got to play this game with Fear and Arragance.

Not for nothing, but this is THE goofiest over-used comedic reply, almost
as bad as "it's not even close" or "do you see why?" [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

That being over with, an Old-Timer at the 'Woods said it best -

"It ain't who plays best, kid, it's who plays best longest!"
