I really find this advice useful. Thank you for sharing. I think consistent poker pays off more so in the long run, than playing non-consistently and gambling your chips away. If I think back to how many times folding garbage would have won me a substantial amount of money, it's only happened a few times. I find it somewhat amusing when I hear people groan about folding garbage after the board pairs something that they had thrown away. I mean, seriously? If they played every hand they were dealt, by the time they won, it would only amount to half of how much they've gambled away trying to "get lucky" on the flop.

Which reminds me of the last time I had played poker at one of the casinos that I go to. This guy was playing anything and everything, raising with 2/4 preflop, and betting it down to the river just to catch two pair and take down a reasonably sized pot. Which was somewhat impressive...at first. Until he lost more than half his chip stack in the same amount of time, playing with the same technique.

So this style can pay off for some people, but I question whether it pays off in the long run. I think there comes a point when a player is pushing their luck and has to make the decision to slow down a bit.
