This is from one of his latest blog posts and I love it!

[B][I]1.  Thou shalt practice good personal hygiene.[/I][/B]

Is anything more important than this fundamental commandment?  Think  of those excruciating occasions when you’ve sat in a poker game amongst  players with body odor, or skunk breath.  Or with players who dress in  tank tops and have sweat pouring from their armpits.  If you play poker  in public, please do everyone around you a favor:  (1) take a shower,  (2) brush your teeth, and (3) dress appropriately at the poker table.

[B][I]2.  Thou shalt not slow-play.[/I][/B]

What in the hell has happened to poker tournaments?  What is it with  taking two ****ing minutes to make every single table decision?  If an  opponent shoves and you sit there holding ace-king or a big pocket pair,  go ahead — take some time.  But these purely orchestrated moments of  high drama on every poker hand are sucking the life right out of the  game.  Everyone gets bored to shit when the time-waster sits there like  he’s playing heads-up in the Main Event, showboating his ass off, when  he’s probably holding jack-four off-suit.  Unfortunately, the problem of  “slow play” seems to be getting worse instead of better.  Even players  who make the WSOP November Nine are now taking so much time with  decisions, they’re ruining poker on television.  Slow players should be  stoned to death.

Here is the link to the blog - strongly recommend that you check out the 8 on the list!
