It is almost impossible to do these things if you are tired. Instead of paying full attention to each hand, you can be distracted after fold, see the wrong board or even wrong click while playing online and so losing chips unnecessarily. Ignore the desire to play poker if you are too tired to have a performance close to their best. Improve your concentration sleeping a little more, eating well and doing some exercise. These are three simple things that ensure you do not miss any action at the poker table and play to their maximum potential. [/COLOR] [B]PLAY POKER NOT WHEN YOU HAVE DRUNK[/B] [COLOR=#474747]A familiar phrase in poker is "I play better after a few drinks." And for some people this may be true - a beer or two can help to release the player and allow it to have more confidence to bluff or take a more risky call. In general, consume some alcohol and play poker - even if one or two beers - [/COLOR][COLOR=#474747]is a big mistake [/COLOR][COLOR=#474747].[/COLOR] [COLOR=#474747]Alcohol impairs judgment and can lead you to lose information in the tables that could be crucial later. It is also likely that leave you more tired - see above - and be fatal in a long tournament where the most important decisions will be taken after several hours (or days) game. If the game you are is purely for fun and played at very low limits you to lose, so go ahead and take a few drinks if desired. However, if you want to take your best for the poker table, then you should leave these drinks aside. [/COLOR] [B]DO NOT PLAY WHEN YOU ARE IN HANDICAP[/B] [COLOR=#474747]One of the great things in cash game poker is that you actually should choose who plays against. Before you sit down you can see who are the other players at the table and make your choice. If you are online at PokerStars you will have the option of many other cash tables in the same limit you have chosen. Do you think the other players at the table are really good? Just move to a different game. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#474747]Sometimes you will not be able to say how the other players are good before having played against them for a while, and sometimes you will have played with them before and have enough information. [/COLOR][COLOR=#474747]It is vital that you have self-discipline[/COLOR][COLOR=#474747]to be able to get out of the game if you do not have an advantage. It's OK to do this - remember that the main objective of poker is to try to win! Now, there are times to play against better players than you can be a good thing. This can usually force you to improve your game, try new tactics and improve as a poker player in the long run. But this is not something you want to do very often![/COLOR] [COLOR=#474747]In a tournament you do not have the same degree of choice of their opponents. You are forced to play on the table where you sit. Even with these restrictions you can still use some selection of players - aim to play more pots against players who you think are weak and to avoid getting involved with the players you feel are strong. Sometimes this plan will not work to perfection - and if you get a hand that you need to play? but this is a good guideline to make your life easier. [/COLOR] [B]Try NOT IS IN TILT[/B] [COLOR=#474747]The tilt can take many forms; irritation, outrage, depression, fear and others. The tilt causes different people act in different ways, but essentially it is any time that their performance at the tables is negatively affected. If you feel you are on tilt you should take a break and stop playing immediately. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#474747]The tilt can quickly ruin a good cash game session or result in you being dropped from a tournament that was going well. So if you feel the tilt of the devil appears, go away quickly and try to regain your peace of mind before it's too late. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
