Great tips!

One tip that covers something I have had to work on is not to chase your losses, particularly in cash games. If you start losing and going on tilt it's easy to make -EV decisions to try and get back to where you started from and odds are you will just continue spewing.

While some of these are obviously Poker specific, nearly all of them have some sort of parallel that you can apply to most other games or life in general.

If your results matter to you, make sure you give yourself the best chance possible to win! Good health, energy, the right mentality, and the will to play is a nice hand to have.

Really good tips and rules.
I think if players strictly follow these principles, their results will improve significantly.
Please tell me, do you only recommend, or do you also follow these principles?

Good, solid advice. The two additions I think complete the rule set!

P.S. For me especially the "tired" part is absolutely true. I've been working in renovations lately and getting way too tired physically. I tried playing a little in my off days, but I was so beat that I played without any consideration to the game. I even hoped to bust, to go to bed sooner...
