what's your poker wisdom?

"My pops said, 'You have to learn to make money the hard way, you have to earn it.'
So I started playing poker."

After dragging a small pot:
"You can't go broke makin' a profit!"

And my all time favorite:
"Weather your rich or poor, it sure feels good to have a lot of money."

Tilt clouds you thinking. There is no reason to dwell on the past when the decision is in front of you. You put yourself in -EV situations when on tilt or have clouded thought.

When you are running bad, it's even more crucial to stay away from tilt.

This is why I have brought myself to believe that bad beats are not 'bad' they are good. You should truely understand what brings you a bad beat and how your opponent loses money making such calls. The more you understand and practice this the easier it will become.

With some help from Homer you can learn more by reading this: Enjoy a Bad Beat

Now if I could only stop beating myself up for missing bets, I'd have real clear thinking. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

"Bring the big guns to the big wars!"

I know Hellmuth says this, but it makes a lot of sense in NL games. Rare is the time that I am willing to risk my entire stack (or a least a good portion of it) on a hand that is potentially the 2nd or 3rd best hand.

That's exactly what I tell newbies when I can only give them one piece of advice as well.

"Concentrate on everything when you're playing". Guess who
wrote that?

Then, once you determine how a player thinks, he might as
well be playing with most of his hands face up!

If you aren't sure...
- preflop whether to fold or call fold
- preflop whether to call or raise raise
- on the flop whether to bet or check-raise check-raise
- ditto for turn
- on the river whether to fold or call call
- on the river whether to check or bet bet

My problem is this:
Saying is one thing, doing another.
