[QUOTE="scubed, post: 4908823, member: 299693"]
I have a system where I ask myself a set of questions BEFORE I play a poker game. I want to ensure that I am ready to play my A-game. These questions have to do with how I feel both physically and mentally. On days I have a weakness either physically or mentally... I decide how it will impact my game. If the problem can be fixed, for example if I am hungry, I fix it (eat). If the problem can't be fixed and a really negative impact to my game is expected, I don't play.

I would suggest developing a set of questions that help you know if you are capable of playing your A-game. Perhaps assessing your level of anxiety is an indicator, for example...
[LIST]
[*]low anxiety you might consider playing, high anxiety maybe not
[*]is the subject matter causing the anxiety something you can ignore (forget) while playing so that you don't become more anxious? If no, then maybe don't play
[/LIST]
In general - I would recommend coming up with 1-5 questions that you can easily answer to give yourself an indication of how close to your A-game you can play. If you can't play anywhere near your A-game, then don't play for the day.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas. Good Luck!
