Best Poker Advice ever?

[70challenger]

The best poker advice I can offer is:

Have fun...it's a form of entertainment...if it's bringing you down ...it's no longer fun...

....only play what you can afford to lose...

Or...find a good webite that pays you for refferals or bets you make...so you don't always use your own money. (take advantage of every bonus offer they give you...and transfer your own money back out.

GL...

"donkey's always draw"

"Your opponents are all sub-human retards"


Seriously, I often come across advice that helps me move to the next level, but I later find it to not be completely accurate.

Mostly, I get little epiphanies.

The decision making process is more important than the result.

Tournaments are not a closed event, but part of the long poker game.

If you are going to call anyway, BET.

That is overused. I find it quite profitable to induce bluffs from hands that wouldn't call if I had bet.

I wasn't talking about slow-playing, either.

It is often correct to check and call with a mediocre hand.

this thread has been very useful to me.

Two phrases to use at the table, if you must speak:
when you lose, WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, say 'Nice hand'

When you win, and there's a comment to respond to about your luck, say 'I came to gamble'

[b]"Never see another flop, turn, or river" John Vorhaus in Killer Poker Watching the other players when the cards fall has been great advice. I stare so boldly at other players and they almost never know ... they are too busy watching the flop.

Not just poker advice. But brilliant all the same:

"Let me tell you a story. When I was a young man about to go out into the world, my father says to me a very valuable thing. 'Son,' the old guy says, 'I'm sorry that I am not able to bankroll you a very large start. But not having any potatoes to give you, I am going to give you some very valuable advice. One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider.' "
