"The problem a lot of people have is that they remember what they did wrong, but not what they did right." - Manny Makris

That was told to me by a shooting instructor, but it applies as well to every game of skill or sport.

"The last hand is gone. Concentrate on this one." - EW Trott

Choose another way to make money, poker players seldom succeed to beat the rake let alone show any considerable profits in the long run.

If it's not just for poker, though IMO it works for poker too, the best advice I've received is that you can't have a positive life and a negative mind... Similarly, in your poker 'career' you need to put the work on and off the tables, trust the process without being too much result oriented(especially don't expect to get rich fast), just grind and try to play close to your A game as often as possible and the results will come... being negative for sure won't ever help you be successful...

The best advice I received was from a friend of mine, and it was about disciplined play. I've always had problems with discipline, and unfortunately, I still do. But I try to stick to bankroll management and am gradually getting better results.

The best advice I've ever heard. Your first thought is always the best. You felt like helping someone, and that was a good intention.

Poker isn’t about the cards you’re dealt, but about how you play the hands.

 

[schtiuky]

If you never play you'll never lose.

 

[moraeskvmi]

Just play. There is no better teacher than experience.

 

[Shadow6969]

If you never play you'll never lose.

That's classic 🤣

 

[karameo]

I think that playing with no fear is the best advice someone can get, stop thinking your opponent has always the nuts

This really resonates. The mindset piece gets overlooked so often, but it affects every decision you make at the table and away from it. Putting in consistent work, staying patient, and focusing on playing your best instead of chasing short-term results is huge. Variance is unavoidable in poker, but a negative mindset only magnifies it and leads to worse decisions. Trusting the process and showing up with the best version of your game is really the only thing you can control, and over time that’s what actually moves the needle.

A friend of mine once advised me never to be afraid, if you decide to do something, then bring it to the end.

"The last hand is gone. Concentrate on this one." - EW Trott

That's a truly unique way of thinking; I think I should probably shift my mindset in this direction.

What's the best poker advice you wish you had heard earlier?

 

[Poker Orifice]

Only play on the weekends.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Play only the money you can afford to lose and don't compromise your family's future

 

[Goggelheimer]

Position is power: Acting later in a hand gives you more information. Play more hands in late position and fewer in early position.

 

[dreamer13]

Check more often out of position, avoid bluffing on the river with A-high if your opponent has checked on all streets, and don't rush into decisions; use the time bank to think things through.

Only play on the weekends.

Who told you that 😅

 

[austral]

Play fewer hands, study more, and take care of your bankroll and your emotions.

The best advice I’ve ever received was: focus on the quality of your decisions, not the short-term results.
If you keep making good decisions consistently, the results will come sooner or later, even if variance hurts in the short run. This mindset helps me stay disciplined and not rely on luck.
