While I may have suggestions about how I think your opponents are likely to play I feel that ultimately a good intuition for how opponents will play is something that is best learned through playing a lot of poker and can’t be effectively taught

Instead my focus is always to give you a better theoretical understanding of the game and the ability to make better poker choices

This, I find, is something that can be taught well, as for any given set of assumptions about what an opponent is likely to do there is a best choice, and if need be I can use math to prove it

We have to be prepared to loosen up our hand strength standards postflop, and remember to use preflop to set ourselves up for good spots.

Anyone who tells you as much either doesn’t know what he's talking about or he’s praising himself.

Only then will you be able to succeed. While I agree with this advice, I have another suggestion.

They got down on themselves. They chased losses. They developed the same negative mindsets that their inferior opponents had. They got sloppy and prepared less.

I often ask my friends how they are doing and sometimes they say things are rough.

But after a few weeks, the assignment grew on me. I was a teenager so I had all kind of emotions boiling inside. It felt pretty good to let all of those feelings out onto the page. It was also helpful to look back later and see my thought process.

The other day, I flipped to a random entry and was laughed when I saw that I wrote that if I had $10,000 dollars, my life would be set.

For me, the word brings up images of Paradise Island with beautiful, white sand and clear, quiet beaches. However, the word also makes me think of all the planning involved to make it to Paradise Island. It requires booking airplane tickets and hotels.

It's cumbersome and time-consuming. And I’m either too busy or too lazy at the moment to do it. Or I'll do it later, which basically means never.

Luckily, I have come to realize vacations don’t have to be like that. They don't have to be long, drawn-out affairs. You can take a mini-break to explore whatever tourist place you have in your area.

Not only does doing so keep you honest, but like that journal I kept as a teenager, it can be a great outlet for coping with the stress the game sometimes causes.

If you are not good at figuring out things to do, find a friend who is. I'm probably the worst planner I know, but I'm always ready to say yes to an excursion somewhere because I know I always have a good time when I'm away from home.

If the activity doesn’t work out, at least you figured out one thing you don't like to do. But give it a chance. Don't just say something is boring without trying it first.

I worried about people using complicated terms to describe the wine and about looking like an idiot, especially when my pinky isn't pointing out correctly when holding a wine glass. I won't enjoy it, I told myself.

One day, my special lady friend surprised me on my birthday and took me wine tasting. The experience was nothing like I imagined. Everyone was nice and down-to-earth. There were a lot of young people.

It cost around $10 to $50 per tasting. It was nothing like it’s portrayed in the media. To this day, wine tasting is my favorite activity. And for more reasons than just getting wasted with no hangover the next day!

I wish I had planned for these breaks and the benefits that came from them, but really the discovery was mostly accidental.
