Empty Pockets: Preparing for Disasters

  • raymond1138 · 1 year ago
    This reminds me of a SAT prep course a friend of mine took. The instructors told them that, if they could, get into the testing room early and walk around, touching the walls, look at the room layout, basically make yourself as comfortable as possible. The main difference with a poker room is that when that comfort wears off (whether that's from your own play or the ATM on your right has decided to pack it in), you can get up and go either for ten minutes or until tomorrow.

    YES. I've managed to pull myself out of a semi-extended bad run by stepping away from the tables and starting to analyze my play from a more distanced perspective. Has helped like you wouldn't believe.
