One of the reasons online poker is so popular is the fact you can play for vast sums of money from the comfort of your favourite chair in your own home. Whilst this is a
major selling point, especially when you factor in not having to travel to the casino, talk to people you do not actually like and the increased costs such as tipping
dealers and waitresses, being too comfortable can actually have a negative effect on your game.
The main reason I say this is because when people are comfortable they tend to relax too much and start to either allow themselves to become distracted by goings on
around them, which in turn makes them play on auto-pilot, which then has a detrimental effect on their win rate. The best thing you can do for your game is to cut out
as many distractions as you can, this means not using instant messenger services, not browsing the internet and turning off the television, even if doing the latter means
you miss the Betfair casino Channel 4 advert.
I have found I achieve my best results when I set up my work station upstairs in the spare room away from the hustle-bustle of the house. Notice how I wrote work station
that was deliberate as you should really look at playing poker as like having a second job, albeit one that you actually enjoy doing! Buy yourself a supportive chair, a
quality desk and approach your game with a more professional manner.
You would not go into the office of your day job at 0230am having sunk several beers, a couple of whiskey and sporting a half eaten donner kebab would you so why sit
down to play poker after doing just that? Be more professional and your results will begin to improve with time. Whether they improve quickly enough for you to have a
good run in the GSOP 6 series remains to be seen but it seems like it could be a good starting point for your
new found professionalism.
