This time last month I was struggling to win a freeroll, so I can have a bankroll. I played many tourneys and no success. Finally at the end of October I was fortunate enough to finally cash in a freebie. I was sure if I could keep my head and use proper bankroll management, I could get my bank to a confortable amount. Well I have been doing really well in November. I have cashed more in November than all of this year.
I think I had to come to terms with a few things
- Poker will not make me rich over night
- Some people are luckier than others
- Take a break when you are running bad or change games
- Read, Read, Practice, then Read some more
- Don't be afraid to lose
- Don't get cocky when you win
- Know your skill level and stick with that level till you are sure you are ready for another level
- Don't make poker your #1 priority, even if you are a pro, make time for family and friends
- Patience is a virtue
- You can lead a donkey to the river, but you cannot make them fold
