They should find a way to block BBV, NVG and BBV4L from their browsers.

I already kinda answered this but..
1. Learning to bet/fold as opposed to check/call when you have a marginal hand (ex - tp on a board that is kinda scary, c/c doesn't give you any information as opposed to if you bet and get called it's likely you're ahead and if you get raised, it's likely you're not).
2. Realizing that people aren't out to get you. If someone makes a move on you, they probably just have a hand. Learn that people can have air (see a showdown) before you re-bluff someone or call off a stack with a marginal hand.
3. Game selection, I stated this above but sitting with the same 5 regs just isn't gonna be your most profitable situation even if you CAN exploit them.
4. Quitting your session when things aren't going well. I've had 2 buyin losses turn into 6 just due to thinking that things would turn around and it'd be okay and then I'd end up getting coolered again and starting to tilt and lose more buyins.
5. Dropping your number of tables. Cool, you can make another buyin per hour by adding your number of tables to 12. You're also going to not improve your game and you're going to be more susceptible to tilt -- which means you're gonna LOSE another buyin per hour than if you were playing 4 tables.
