Not being short term results orientated
I’ve noticed that a lot of new and upcoming players tend to be far too short term results orientated (myself included in the past).
To help overcome this concatenate all of the poker sessions you have played, are playing and will play in your mind into one big session. In this session you are no longer short term results orientated - you are still early into the session (since it’s lifelong) and are focusing on playing a solid, winning game. Don’t have odds to peel the flop? Fold - The situation will come up many more times this session. Don’t have a good enough hand to raise the lag blinds? Fold - you will get a hand later on in this session and their play style will pay you off.
Case in point - It is far better to be long term then short term results orientated and in doing so you will play better and can avoid being so focused on your bankroll figure but instead on your quality of play.
I think you need to think of this but additionally also think of yourself as consistently profiting as you play the game. You may have only made $50.00 in one session but on the flip side made $180 worth of good decisions.
Poker isn’t just a game against your opponents it’s also a game against yourself - take control of the you factor by forgetting short term results and instead focusing on the decisions put in front of you at the table.
