Be Your Own Boss

Things you will learn:

  • Treat playing poker like a job and don’t let yourself get distracted

Poker players are always looking for new strategies and tactics that will give them the edge in a game. But poker success often boils down to the things you don’t do:

  • Don’t tune out. Most of the time when you’re playing you aren’t in a hand, so keep busy by observing the other players. Use our software’s notes feature to write down your reads on your opponents
  • Don’t run distracting programs. When you play, try to only have our game software open. Close your web browser and shut down other instant messaging programs
  • Don’t let other people interrupt. Sometimes people think playing poker is a pastime, like watching TV. It’s fun, but you need to concentrate when there’s a big payout looming. If you’re playing an important game, take your laptop somewhere private and close the door

Give yourself the biggest chance of winning a cash game session or big tournament by being your own boss and breathing down your own neck.
