with all the recent "scandals" this forum has been infected with I'd like to share something that I learned from the beginning of my poker playing til now.. Lets have all responses be something that has bettered your game and maybe get back to learning poker again.

I have learned that calling out of curiosity sake alone, even when you know you're beat is NOT a profitable play.

I have learned to annihilate limpers late in a tournament when its getting down to the nitty gritty... You more than make enough chips on all the folds to cover when  someone "traps" you with AA, KK etc. Not to mention when they try to trap too much and you crack their premium holding

I have learned to think before EVERY decision I make at the poker table

TABLE SELECTION!! In cash games. You want the fish, but not a table full chasing everyhand to the river. Or, you'll drive yourself crazy..............

I've learned that only cost 1 bet to see 60% of the cards. A lot more for the other 40%

I've learned, thanks to Fox and other posters, bankroll management.  just because a donk at .5/1 busts my Aces with K9 suited doesn't mean a donk at 2/4 isn't going to make the same call so don't play up, risking your whole bankroll thinking you can beat them.  I also learned, today actually, to stick to what I'm good at.  I win playing Sit and Gos and lose playing cash games, so why do i keep trying cash games?  stick with what you're good at!!! 

I also learned that TT sucks at poker...j/k
