Re: What was the best poker advice you received this month?
I've been working my way through the book "Inside the Poker Mind," and two things jumped out at me the other day (among the many things in the book). First was the line that went something like, "don't focus on making money when you play, focus on making good plays." Simple, and I'd heard/read it before elsewhere, but it clicked for some reason this time. My last few pummelings, I've actually said out loud a few times "make good plays," and I think it's helping keep my head on straight.
The second suggestion was to take your notes on a player after the game and use them to come up with specific strategies for playing them. I haven't done this yet, but it seems like a simple but great idea to me. Both for the practical benefit when you run into that player again, and for the mental exercise in general.
