Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
There are a ton out there
There are a ton out there so check out as many as you can. Anytime something can make you just a slight bit better, say .2bb/100 to your winrate, it will pay itself off and more over the years.
Preparation and Diet
Preparation and Diet Before you even sit down at a poker table or virtual felt, you want to make sure you're mentally and psychically prepared to be your best. Making sure you are in a good mental state, and you've prepared yourself mentally for playing your .A. game is a must. You might think it would be something obvious to state, but if you've had a recent fight with your girlfriend/boyfriend, or some other major life issue, it's probably not the best idea to sit down and play. Everyone handles things differently, and there might be the occasional person that benefits from "getting away" from the life drama, and can play ok under those conditions. However, they would tend to be the exception and not the rule.
