Should I play today?

[Brown_k11]

A short checklist for deciding whether or not to play

1. Have you had enough sleep? If NO, don't play.
2. Is there something you would rather be doing? If YES don't play.
3. Are you feeling physically well enough to sit through a movie? If NO don't play. When you have a headache or you'd be tired or fidgety in a theater, you probably won't play your best poker.
4 Are you so mad at someone that it is interfering with your concentration? If YES don't play.
5. Are drugs, alcohol, or medication interfering with your concentration? If YES don't play.
6 Are you emotionally upset? If YES don't play. Fights with you wife or girlfriend are not healthy for your bankroll
AND MOST IMPORTANT
7. Do you feel you are going to win? If NO don't play. Give credibility to your hidden feelings. Your subconscious mind might be analyzing things you're not even aware of.

If it looks like a good game and you survive the checklist, then sit down and do some serious winning. Otherwise save your energy there will always be a game tomorrow.



If anyone can come up with anymore reasons not to play or even reasons to play (im sure there is lots of those) please share.
