I would really rethink 1, 8 and 9 on your list.

Go for it.

I think 1 is important because the biggest mistake you can make at the poker table is to sit down with money you can't afford to lose.

8 is based on What I read in SSHE (though correct me if I am wrong on my interpretation) - there are a lot of hands that are only marginal folding hands - so you don't make a HUGE mistake calling with a marginal hand, though if you do it a lot, it will cost you - after the flop, you can wind up making extremely costly mistakes, like folding a solid drawing hand in a large pot or calling bets with a sure loser.

9 is in reference to people who think that there are trends to how the cards come - that if you are "running hot", then you will continue to get good cards and if you are "on a downswing", it means you simply can't get a winning hand. Perhaps there is a better way to express this.
