My pregame routine and a not so abstract thought.

Here is the list of 10 things to think about before I play in no particular order.
1. ONLY PLAY WHEN WELL RESTED AND ABLE TO PERFORM AT YOUR BEST.
2. REMEMBER SKLANSKY’S SKILS FOR SUCCESS
-MANIPULATING THE POT SIZE
-ADJUSTING CORRECTLY TO STACK SIZES
-WINNING THE BATTLE OF MISTAKES
-READING HANDS
-MANIPULATING OPPONENTS INTO PLAYING BADLY
3.DON’T BE HUD DEPENDANT; RESPECT YOUR OPPONENTS
4. DON’T BE RESULT ORIENTED
5. TRUST YOURSELF AND YOUR INSTINCTS, THEY ARE RIGHT
6. HAVE ODD SHEET INFRONT OF YOU
7. ABC POKER IS ESSENTIAL PICK YOUR SPOTS CAREFULLY
8. USE GOOD TABLE SELECTION
9. POSITION, POSITION, POSITION!
10. NO WHEN TO QUIT.

I will be reading over this eveytime now before I begin a session as well as keeping this open to reread through all my sessions. We can tell ourselves over and over to do something but we still have a tendency to return to our old ways. Hopefully, this will keep me sinc and I will continue growing and developing into a dominant force to be reckoned with at the poker table. I am not sure just yet but am flirting with the idea of moving up but only buying for 100BB an playing 100NL. It seems he fish have moved up due to a badbeat jackpot that just got put into effect at Absolute and it doesnt start till 100NL so alot of fish have jumped up to have their shot at it. Will see.

How abut an abstract thought? I cant remember where I read it but I remeber reading about the power of thoughts and our energy which they release. An example they sed was when you are looking at someone and they can feel it. You know what I mean too. You are checking out someone of the opposite sex appreciating their beauty and all the sudden they turn and look at you. Or you feel someone looking at you and turn and look and sure enough they are. This is the most vivd example of it and we should know that every thought we have in some way releses energy into the world wether good or bad is up to you. Are you a positive thinker enjoying all the amazing things in your life and giving thanks or are you negative? Like The Secret says everything you have right now and where you are right now in life you chose. Do you like the choices you have made? If so, sweet deal keep doing what your doing. If not choose to change.

Quick BR update $2963 with 235 dollars of reload bonus pending. Just got another 200 today, which makes 550 for the month. not to shabby. One last quick thought, as my results continue to improve and I become less dependant on rakeback as a part of my monthly slary I plan on opening an IRA and depositing my rakeback into it every month for my retirment.

I am not rude, I am real.
