[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]Discipline[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff] is "doing the "right thing" even when no one is looking or would think your wrong". Discipline is a quality inherent in "Self Confidence". [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]Self Confidence[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff] is doing what you know is right even when others will tell you otherwise. It's not Ego, it's having put in the time & study to know the game, the players and the strategy [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]necessary to put you in place to Win. All 3 work together in harmony among winners in any walks of life. Sports, Business, Politics or Poker. Check out some bios on the greats in history and you'll see it's true.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=2]How does it apply to poker? It means not playing like a robot or always following the "rules". When you always follow the "rules" or play "robotically" your easy to read, thus leaving money on the table because others will know exactly where your at in the hand. If your studying your opponents while playing and after (online) you'll pick up their tells, attitudes and patterns in given situations, which gives you a better idea of their range & actions on a particular hand. In a vacuum most players will tell you "you didn't have the pot odds, you didn't have the implied odds". But if your Disciplined enough to do what you know is the right thing to do, given all the information available to you and have the Confidence to not care what others think, you will be a winner even if you lose the hand. Because in the long run you'll be a winner and also know that you are a winner right now because you did the right thing at the right time to put yourself in a position to win. IMHO of course:D[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
