Good morning, everyone.
The most important advice I ever received — and the one I also give to anyone who wants to improve in the game — is: study, man. You have to study a lot of Poker, seriously.

When I first started playing, I didn’t really understand this idea of “studying.” I used to think: “Study? The game is right there. The board comes, and I decide what to do.” But that’s not how it works. If you look at really good players — the guys on Twitch, for example — you can see how they think. They break down the play, explain what they should do, make the move, and they’re right. Sometimes it’s an extremely complicated board, the guy has nothing, and even so he fires a c-bet on the river, gets checked to, and then check-raises all-in.

That comes from a lot of study. The player knows he has range advantage on that board, knows he had advantage before the flop, understands the logic behind ranges, and because of that he can bluff and make a really strong play. Especially near the end of a tournament, being able to bluff is essential. And to know how to bluff — and how to catch other people’s bluffs — you need to study a lot.

Poker is not just playing the hand.
Poker is studying before you even sit at the table.
It’s understanding ranges, board textures, ICM pressure, stack dynamics, c-bet frequencies, value narratives, bluff narratives — all of this before the “shuffle up and deal.”


That’s why the only real advice in Poker is:
study and practice.

Don’t over play your hand and learn how to fold!

best advice was: “poker is a game for those who have courage”

Having a simple plan in mind, really helps the basics of paying enough attention to your opponents, at least for me. That helps with all sorts of Poker related thinking, you'll start considering their ranges more, etc, especially when you get disrupted in your execution.

To be honest, no I don't put that much effort into every hand when I got 6+ tables going, but its a good habit to start building, especially when you leave the online realm and have to focus a lot more on a single game.

The best laid plan idiom and all that.

Before you enter the pot with that A6s, what's your goal with those cards, what are you trying to beat, and how?

Don’t get attached to your hand, get attached to making good decisions.

Do not open limp with normal stack depths.

Be disciplined, you cant win a tournament in a single hand, but you are able to lose EVERYTHING in a single hand. Discipline to always focus to play your "A" game. If you dont feel it, then stop playing rest, try again later or another day.


Also, try your best to identify when you are on tilt. Tilt is an invisible monster that drains your stamina, it breaks you and destroys you. You often only notice it when its too late. If you are able to identify you are on tilt. Please stop playing, rest for while, forget about poker, do other chores, come back when your mind feels rested.

When the hand is over, learn how to let it go, no matter the outcome. Bad beats happen, insane luck happens, and then you say, “So be it” and move on to the next hand.

As for MTTs - EV doesn't matter. If you loose all your chips on bad draws you're out of the tournament.
