Default Re: Finding an appropriate mindset

These are what I consider the keys to my mindset - I know they are widely publicized but they are absolutely the core of my BB/100
1. No emotion - in order to win you just can't get emotional about any particular play you see online. Instead of fuming, think about WHY your opponent raised that bottom pair (and bluffed you out), and how you can exploit that in the future. ***Also if you can strictly keep emotion out of your game, you will never tilt.

2. Do not think of chips as spendable cash. This is absolutely essential especially when moving up limits. When I went from 1/2SH to 3/6SH I told myself, don't play scared, these guys don't KNOW that I'm fearful of losing $50 in a pot & eventually, as I knew, I got used to it. When dealing with pot odds I always try to consider it as 8-1 as opposed to $6 to win $48 or whatever. It just takes fear of losing completely out of my game.

Hope this helps
