Short term everything that is said and just saying to yourself don't be a wining pussy; countless people in this world break their back for just a slice of bread a day.
Short term breaks and learning when breaks will not help so you quit instead.

Long term; experience and getting raped by everything that could possible break you. After having experienced that and still being alive, you will care way less.

Long term; studying so you eventually reach the point where you almost always know and can prove your play was good/best and so you reach the point that you can slap yourself for bad play OR can slap yourself for not being a winer as you did the correct thing.

Long term; realizing you will defenitely be a ****** when you take as reference the best player in the world. This said, start to realize there are countless subjects and skills still to be developped where you are for sure clueless about these even exist besides all the subjects and skills you already have planned to develop where you know there is room for improvement.

Please get lost.

working out in the morning will actually increase your energy levels throughout the day and improve your sleep at night

Ain't it obvious?
Hanging out with friends, partying, whiskey, sex...repeat infinite.
Be happy with your life and you'll stay emotionally unattached for longer sessions.

if you follow the take a break every hour/never played tired/... advice you never get any hands in lol


eating non/less-processed is a very important thing that has hardly been mentioned

THOAC is obviously right.


how nobody found all of these hilarious i have no idea. i lol'd several times

Green tea with a high dose of caffeine - gyokuro for example. See Brian Townsend well, he uses that too.

caffeine isn't a long term solution though, right?

No I'm certainly more tired on average having had coffee every day for the past few years

+1. Once you get addicted to it, you won't be able to function w/o it. I tend to drink ~1-1.5 liter of Coca Cola every day until 8pm, after that I don't take caffeine or any other stimulant so I can actually fall asleep later. Results: after 9pm or so I'm so mind****ed that I can't play anything (on each stake level I either b/e or lose in games after 9pm), but yet I can't fall asleep until 2-3am, so I end up going out, watching TV, degening on 2p2 or doing something that wastes even more $, and obv I'm dead in the morning even if I didn't drink alcohol

For me the core effect of caffeine was just a rise of adrenaline level. And such I always got more energy and become more aware.

For me each time (when I kept drinking coffee/red bull) I reached always a time nothing happened as consequence of the intake.
From that moment off my level of attention and energy became even worse then before I started drinking coffee.

Nowdays, I rarely drink coffee/red bull for a boost. A short break/nap and water works way better.

Train every night to get a healthier brain. Also Red Bull, a lot.

And for those who get to tolerant on caffeine there is a solution.... training your body to get a lower tolerance!

But it has happened that I play some FL H.O.R.S.E. on marijuana but I spew around to much for NL :P

they say a small dose of LSD, like half a blotter, helps you focus on the game w/o hallucinations and other ****. I haven't tested it tho, don't know where to get LSD

yeah, I heard durrrr always plays on lsd

edit: maybe a quarter blotter could work. Just a little bit hallucinations but its impossible to mind****

lmao. please try this. pleeeeeeeeeeease. i can't wait for the TR.

Would love to see a coaching session where the coach is tripping (a webcam in the corner showing the coachs face)

Good advice ITT. This is probably my biggest problem. I'm smart enough to stop playing when my brain is fried, which means my ROI is great, but my volume is terrible.

After like 3 husngs I just feel "spent." Partly because I don't find poker relaxing, it's very draining on my nervous system. I remember reading an article that online poker helps people relax, but that must be the fish. For me, I feel the same after playing an hour of poker as I do after taking an hour-long final exam.

I scream FUUUUUUUUUUUU

I have to mention it, the best tip is missing.
No Money Headsup, everybody is solid

lol i skimmed but did nobody mention adderol? ez game

Good posts Mers & THOAC

I feel mental fatigue incoming so I jerk off vigorously.

Rinse and repeat tree fiddy times. You never quite finish that 4th time and you just fall asleep from trying. I got this from a well oiled german machine.
