9. Don't play in a game that is too tough for you (opponents are much better) or too high for your bankroll (if you can't afford to lose, you can't play your best).
This is something I am fighting as we speak. My bankroll is what it is. I wish it were more, but it is not. I would like to move up, win money faster, and I am confident in my game. BUT, moving up would put my hard earned bankroll at the whims of variance. FIGHT IT!
Also, this tip emphasizes my ongoing quest to mark the weaker players. Watch the ones that start with poor hands. Watch the ones that chase, bet draws, refuse to fold or play too tight. These are teh people you can make money off of.
These tips are part of my series on Poker tips, taken from Poker.net. Poker.net has an on-line section with 64 poker tips. Way back 4 and 1/2 decades ago, in Mr. Kirk's 5th grade class, I was taught; to write things out, was one of the best ways to commit to memory. So, rather than read over a list of tips, and forget most, I am going to commit myself to reading one a day, and writing my thoughts about it.
