An important note about playing poker tournaments:  Know the structure before you play!

This is important because, any changes in the structure can affect your overall play.  If the structure is regular for the first 2 hours, and then afterwards, speeds up a bit – you will have to make a change in your game.  If you arent aware of this before you begin the poker tournament, you may find yourself struggling to catch up and then you are not playing your A game.

If you are playing Omaha High Low, it is important that you raise in late position with an Ace Deuce Suited.  There are a couple reasons for this, but the main reason would be:

You should generally be playing a tight game in Omaha High Low.  So if you are doing this, when you get the opportunity to pretty much guarantee doubling the pot, there is no better hand to do this than an A2XX suited!  Make the best of your opportunities!

One of the worst things you can do in online poker, is hold a grudge.  Say a poker player wins 5 pots against you in a session, generally you will begin to feel like you just want to beat that player.  This will cause you to make bad decisions in the moment, and not focus on your skills.

Do not hold personal vendetta’s against your opponents.  Poker is a war, not a boxing match.  You have several opponents to overcome, so do not let one take advantage of you.

Learning to let go is a pivital part of growth in online poker.  Steaming and Tilting are only going to make you suffer.  Its best if you can learn this as early as possible in the game, so that you dont have to break a bad habit. 

If you lose a hand, dont write into chat FFS and What a terrible beat and Of course you would win, donkey! 

Let it go.  Just let it go.  Expect the worst so that when the worst occurs, you are not blown away.

The rule is “Once you have prevailed, be as if you had not” – Liu Ji

Humility is one of the major online poker secrets that men have a hard time to adapt to.  Do not let ego prevail.  Prevail by your humility.  When you win a big pot, tell your opponent he was unlucky.  When you lose a big pot, tell your opponent nice hand.  Continue to see both sides of the story to understand the complete game of online poker.
