1. Always, Always pay attention at the tables, especially playing online because there are many fewer tells. In this instance betting patterns tell a lot. Keeping notes also helps.



2. Position Position Position. I learned very fast from Mark Seif the importance of this concept. If you act with a marginal hand without knowing what your other opponents could be on then you are setting yourself up for disaster and a dwindled chip stack.



3. Play the Player. For me when I play live it is much easier for me to find one player and set an image against him and profit. Many times, believe it or not, people try to help me save money against them. After the 3rd heart comes on the turn they overbet and then show me saying, “see I tried to save you money”. This is what I love about some guys, I think they think now there will be chemistry, but on the contrary I am laying traps. One time I did this exact thing in the Bahamas when a guy overbet a flush after telling me the exact same thing on the river. What he didn’t know is my flopped 2 pair had just improved on the river to a full house. His overbet and cocky attitude cost him $500 and a bit of his dignity.
