In the past I used affirmations to help me quit smoking ciggs and weed each at different times and now use them to cut back on my drinking as well. I am also using them on other things in my personal life. Now Im trying to make some to get rid of my connection with my money for when Im taking shots at higher stakes and to help me reduce or get rid of tilt entirely. If u have any experience using them Id like to here about since I dont really even know anyone that does them.

Never used them for poker but I've used them in other areas of my life, with some success.

Had them written out on index cards and used to read through them first thing in the morning, last thing at night. Other times during the day if I had the time.

Affirmations and poker. Cool idea. Might try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Before each playing session, I look in the mirror and say:

"I'm good enough"

"I'm smart enough"

"And doggone it, I can put people on tilt"

I guess this is a joke and it made me laugh,

Sounded a lot like Stewart Smalley, which I always think about when talking about this to people.


edit: had no clue they made a movie about this character

Some suggestions (reworded by me from self-help books):

"I'm a lean, mean, EV generating machine." (Anthony Robbins)

"Everyday in every way I am getting better and better at (insert the name of your main game here)". (Emile Coue)

"What ever my mind can conceive and believe, my bankroll can achieve." (Napoleon Hill)

"My disciplined attitude determines my bankroll altitude." (Zig Ziglar)

Affirmations must be realistic before anything else.It does no good to say I am a lean mean fighting machine when you are 50lbs overweight. Your subconscious will have great great difficulty accepting this. BUT!!!! Now you more realistically state I will be 5lbs lighter at the end of this month is an affirmation your subconscious can make reality because it is realistically acheivable.
Always set simple goals and you will excel at acheiving them because they are within reality and acheivement.

Bro this is awesome screenshotinn it now, sucks you're banned but this was awesome!!! Haha

Set the lose limit for shots. Hit and run, hit and run (run when losing or whatever). Endurance against tilt; play for the beauty of the hands well played, play some more hands per hour when able to, take breaks when tilt is too much and know it is a learning process for the tilt also.

Mastering the current level as so in many ways, combined to the shots above when you feel like it, including when running good, bad, normal, getting bored and whatever. Being angry, I have done hitting, same when feeling frustrated, feeling beautiful, then too, feeling ready, bored, stuck and for no reason at all; all good enough reasons as they have the energy or the motivation for it (when/if they have it for that) compared to feeling fine at where I am currently, and so happily staying there. One gets hands in a bit by bit with the shots like that. The money lost as so isn't a realistic thought and should be ignored for that reason.

I use a pen and paper, and iPad and its pen to write down goals, plans, overcome problems. To get ready in the best way I can see, any time I feel the need for it, and then I play or whatever and come back to thinking, planning when I need to and things get clearer again.

I know the stuffs one can get from music and so on, that can remove some blocks at least for now, also as more or less of the negative stuffs one is in are not real. One needs to be a little bit brave, and positive, but not overly so. The facts help, too.

Playing the grind is like a boat trip from Europe to America or so and one needs to keep the attention on the positive things while being well aware of all the negative stuffs one is facing during the play for many reasons. One trains to be more at ease and staminated. I try to keep the positives on the top as otherwise I will sink. Also, not keeping the course, one is going to end up somewhere else, that might be fine or then not.

One can think about the positives as affirmations and the negatives also that are the enemy. No fast tricks, really, and the journey may be worth as much as the goal.

I understood everything but setting loose limits for shot taking??also can u coach me?? I'm serious your wisdom is what I need to get to the top and help others achieve the same.

Some have worked enormously on their mental systems and personality level to focus their relationship with financial and monetary resources without having any energetic, spiritual or deprogramming perspective, but they have managed to make changes in their psyche, mind, personality and its relation to the concept and archetype of money and abundance by changing the mental behavior patterns associated with them. And it is that a program is changed with another program, a belief is changed with another belief and a pattern of behavior can be changed with another pattern of behavior ;=)

And it is that a program is changed with another program, a belief is changed with another belief and a pattern of behavior can be changed with another pattern of behavior ;=)

So we give credit where it needs to be given, there are people who, due to hard internal work, knowing or not what was happening in their psyches and patterns of reality emission, have obtained an enormous amount of resources because they have begun to emit another personal “quantum hologram” where those resources were already a natural part of what was being emitted by your pineal gland and by the content of your mental body.

So, among other things, if you have learned to deprogram your mind so that it does not emit and does not project any type of situation associated with scarcity, but you continue to maintain the "average" human being projecting the lack of resources in his life constantly, that 1% of humanity continues to accumulate resources and wealth, because in the end most of them are "intangible" resources, such as the numbers of your checking account in a bank, and that 99% continues to accumulate "lack of the same", for the opposite reasons ;=)

Everything works as radio stations, everything is holoquantic waves, everything is energy patterns and the world of each one of us only depends on what we emit. But what we emit depends on the raw material that we use to emit, therefore, if we are at a low level of vibration and in reality we can only aspire to emit low-vibration waves that project scenarios associated with all kinds of more negative situations, with Which, the whole concept of "lack of resources" and "lack of anything" takes shape more quickly in areas, places and societies "poor" in itself economically, but also energetically poor, by the vibration of the place where they reside. .

I'm a quantum physicist, I know what I'm talking about ;=)

This, of course, seen from a generic point of view, because in every area, no matter how poor it is, there is always someone who does well, and, therefore, it is not a rule that is written in stone, but that works by accessing energy fields that are intertwined with each other, interconnected and superimposed on each other, so that, in the place where a majority of the population fails to obtain the resources they may need for their day to day Others may be accessing higher levels of reality within those same areas and are those who have "everything" in an environment where "there is nothing.

But these people may not have realized it, they may not know how they have done it, or different situations may have led to a change in their projection of reality, their way of understanding the world in which they live, or they may have received some type of catalyst, trigger, aid or external push to be able to get out of a lower level of reality and raise the energy network from which they emit a couple of degrees. Multiple situations and explanations are possible at the mental level, then taking into account the effort, work or what at the physical level these people have put in place to get out of that level of "scarcity" and enter the level of "abundance" .

DJ, none of what you are talking about is "quantum physics". You're speaking nonsense.

You mean like this??

The results will come affirmations, great for getting fired up before a session:

Hi Everyone:

Whenever I see anything like this the question I ask is will it mean that I will now play some of my hands differently than I would have before and is this new way of playing these hands, or at least some of them, superior to the way I use to play them. I think the answer would be no.

By the way, affirmation nonsense has been around for a long time. Here are some affirmations from my 1996 book Poker Essays Volume II:

Affirmations


For those of you who keep up with the latest poker literature, you may have noticed that the new rage is what is known as affirmations — short sayings you repeat over and over which are designed to help you win all the chips. In some of my writings in the past, I have been critical of affirmations. But, I try to keep an open mind, and I must admit that I now see their value.

For example, suppose you haven’t been doing very well lately. You might want to repeat to yourself at least twenty times

1. Running bad will never make me sad.

If that doesn’t work you might try:

2. If the cards run cold, I’ll work for my load.

Of course, there are other affirmations available if you are having trouble winning. How about:

3. If the cards aren’t snappy, I’ll make my opponents happy.

4. If my luck is bad, I won’t get sad.

5. When I lose a pot, I’ll pretend it’s not a lot.

6. If I can’t afford the loss, I’ll pretend I’m the boss.

7. If I run bad, I will stay glad. Or,

8. When I’m stuck, I rely on luck.

Now suppose your problem isn’t that you are running bad, perhaps you are just a terrible player. Then you might want to say — remember, at least twenty times:

9. I would play poker good, if I only could.

10. I’ll play poker true, even if I turn blue.

11. I’ll play my best, and try to lose less. Or

12. If I have a losing trip, my game won’t slip.

Note: Affirmation No. 11 is particularly important.

Consistent with the above is the idea that it sometimes takes a little longer than we would like to be successful at the poker tables. To help us during these times we could say:

13. If I play too long, I’ll pretend it’s not wrong.

14. If I get stuck, I’ll see the sun come up.

If you are hungry and are also in this situation you might try:

15. When it comes time to eat, I’ll stay in my seat.

Actually, the real reason you might be losing is that even though you play well, everyone else in your game may play even better. Now you may want to begin repeating to yourself:

16. If the game is poor, I’ll buy in for more. Or

17. If the game gets tough, I’ll try a bluff.

Another reason why your results may be disappointing is that your unlucky dealer is currently in the box. Well, how about:

18. If someone draws out, I’ll scream and shout. Or

19. If my hand gets beat, I’ll jump to my feet.

Sometimes when playing poker you may find it necessary to concentrate on a certain opponent. If that’s the case appropriate affirmations are:

20. I pick the best seat to give you a bad beat. Or

21. I’ll check-raise my best pal, and laugh for a while.

If you have a favorite game, and most poker players do, you may want to start chanting:

22. My game is razz, cause I have pizazz.

23. I play hold ’em, and never fold ’em.

24. If I hold the joker, I always play poker. Or for you stud players,

25. If my upcard is low, I’ll pretend it’s not so.

If bizarre behavior is your thing, you can start repeating:

26. My image is wild, they’ll think I’m a child.

27. I’ll play tight and talk loose, just like an old goose.

And if this approach doesn’t work or perhaps something else causes most of your money to disappear how about:

28. When my money gets low, I’m not afraid to owe. Or

29. If I run out of money, I’ll borrow from my honey.

And finally, if you do manage to "bring home the bacon" you can say:

30. I’ll stack my chips high, until they reach the sky.

By the way, these affirmations will not only do you good, but you can use them to help your friends. For instance, suppose you have just walked into your favorite poker room and you notice one of your pals is buried in a game. You could hand him a piece of paper on which you have written something like "Running bad will never make me sad.” Also, make sure you inform this person that they now need to say this at least twenty times, but that a hundred times is recommended. I’m sure they will appreciate it.

Best wishes,
Mason
