    First, this might seem funny, but should not be overlooked.

    1. If your just waking up, dont just scratch your balls and
    touch the mouse. Wash your hands, brush your teeth, take
    a shower, and eat a well rounded meal. Take vitamins also.
    You will feel better, and that will lead to playing better.
    2. Make sure you get 6 1/2 to 10 hrs sleep.
    Poker can be exhusting, especially if you are a mega multi-tabler
    or play many MTTs through out the your session.
    3. Dont put the T.V. on while playing, or talk on the phone.
    100 % concentration on poker is what will get you farther than
    the players watching porn or talking to their girlfriend(wife)
    4. Dont play tired or sad, you wont make good choices.
    5. Make sure all options are the way you want them on
    each site your playing before you get started. Another distraction
    from the game is having to adjust this stuff.
    5. Have a plan for the session, like I will play XX rebuys, and XX Mtts
    XX SnGs,so many 5/10 or whatever, that will equal XXhrs and stick to it. This way you wont play tired and lose focus.
    6. And the innermost important thing is be positive about your play. If the negative energy is taking over your mind, quit and start over in a while.
    By quit, I mean log out of the site, reboot your computer and eat or
    go to the gym, or watch a movie for a couple hrs. This will change your mindset and eliminate negative progression from taking over. Now go win !
