How To Act And Play Like A Professional Poker Player
Pros know exactly how much they won at a given table - and they
know exactly how much they lost.
A sign of a pro? How much did you win on Wednesday night, you
ask? $128. Not over a hundred. Or about a hundred. They know to
the penny. Same if they lose. They will tell you they were up $545
but finished up the night down $62.
You need to sound like a Pro to be a pro.
What does a Pro look like, sound like, talk like, play like?
A Pro plays the game with intention. They focus. They don't play
Poker online while watching TV or eating or having a
conversation.
A Pro talks about the game with clarity. Knows exactly what you
won or lost - or says nothing at all. Lack of clarity is a very bad
habit for success in anything. Sloppy language means a sloppy
approach. It's not cool to be sloppy about technique or practice in
any field of endeavour.
A Pro takes notes during play and spends time following the game
to evaluate mistakes, to understand the game better, the review
what they have learned. Take clear and concise and useable notes.
A Pro studies the game, knows all the odds and the rules. They
practice using Poker software simulations. They play the game
with intention. And the review their play following the game by
keeping detailed notes on wins, losses, and the things they've
learned.
So, there you have it. Keep this in mind when playing poker, whether you are at home or in a casino.
