Disregard females, acquire currency.

nc_royals · May 27, 2010

The number one rule is Bank Roll Management.

I dont always adhere like I should but I believe this to be #1

moonshinesilver · May 28, 2010

I play SnGs and go by a 20 buyin rule, if I don't have enough for 20 buyins at a $ level I drop down. I am willing to drop down so I don't mind only 20 buyins (usually only playing between $1-$5). I think for cash games its generally 40-100 full buyins.

Don't let old ladies push you around.. they're not as innocent as they look.

Maintain concentration and avoid distractions like browsing etc.

Agree regarding bankroll management.
I try to follow the simple Ferguson rules as specified in details here -

Don't be afraid to fold the best hand.

forsakenone · May 28, 2010

nr 1 rule is: just because you are playing micros don't assume everyone is a weak player.

mdnmdn · May 28, 2010

+1 to maintaining concentration
this is my new #1 rule, no more playing while at work or while watching the baby, i miss a lot of hands bc im changing a diaper or feeding a bottle

oh, ok. That explains maybe where one of my leaks is....uhhh..... coming from.....

Grinder101 · May 28, 2010

play well, run good.

fletchdad · May 28, 2010

No 1 rule for me is like "Whats is your number 1 rule for avoiding road accidents?" Barring not driving, there are a number of "No 1s" as in poker. Many already mentioned here, it is also situational. Are you tired on a certain day? Are you playing more than one game? Is your game leaking in a certain area that you are aware of? The best was to find out your no 1 rule is to play and see what rule will strengthen your game the most NOW, and change that rule as it needs. Maybe the no 1 rule is "Dont pay attention to just 1 rule"

MFaith · Jun 3, 2010

Patience, patience, patience!

Misofer · Jun 3, 2010

Don't tilt. In other words, don't let you emotions play the game you should be playing with strategy, logic and experience.

I don't really go by any rules when I'm playing poker. The most important rule I think is bankroll management. That is always needed to be considered.

OzExorcist · Jun 4, 2010

Try to run like god at all times

Seriously though, mine is probably not playing when I'm too tired or not in the mood. Way more mistakes happen when I'm forcing myself to play.

Healthy mind, feed it, rest it.
