If you know that you could
actually play better it is best to choose a ring
game with at least seven opponents or, preferably,
with all 9 opponents: here you have more time to
think about decisions and the game is not as
intense. Choose a table with at least 2 or 3 weak
players and the lowest stakes. Also, do not forget
that you are willing to take risks with drinks on
board.
If your concentration is impaired by fatigue, the
influence of alcohol or other, be careful at the
poker game and put you aware of any large amounts.
Then the next morning you will regret nothing. In
summary, I would like to emphasize again that you
really never play poker is when you are emotionally
applied. Do not play if you have drunk enough
alcohol to be happy. Do not play if you are not
sleepy even after the second cup of coffee. On the
whole, I recommend never to play when Outside
influences are a kind of distraction.
A player who thinks long term, that does not matter.
It is one of the general upward trend over a long
period of time. It is now obvious that you need to
arm themselves especially against loss sustained
phases.
This means that you play in the proper "league",
that selects exactly the right table limits. Who
plays too high, runs the risk of going bankrupt. Who
plays too low, missed opportunities to make money.
Sensible bankroll management solves this dilemma.
The table limits are always in correct proportion to
the total bankroll. If the capital you have to back
down in the table limits, capital increases, one may
ascend to the next higher table limits. This
principle is useful for any poker player, whether he
plays No Limit or Fixed Limit or rather entirely
focused on tournaments. now let us look at examples
from practice on. Bankroll recommendations by
professionals for No Limit and Fixed Limit cash
games.
