Most poker players would like to learn how to be more focused. Even professional often make decisions on the autopilot without properly over thinking things. Before you try to beat your opponents you should first control your own thoughts – always think before you act.

Of course we all like to play our best, but poker is not always about playing your best game. It is more about knowing how to avoid mistakes. Taking the right decisions is the key to earning more profit. If you keep standing behind your own decisions then chances are really high that you will be finishing the year with profit. Give yourself time to make the right choice. This is especially important if you participate in a tournament where one wrong decision can undo hours and even days of hard work.

It is also very important that your opponents think that you always make the right decisions. A major part of your image comes from the things you feel comfortable with. Make yourself hard to ‘read’. Once your opponents see that you are in doubt then they know enough.
