3 Key Points
- Pick a game that fits you well, then commit your focus fully on the fundamentals. Forget the crazy river bluffs if you haven’t learned your preflop ranges! First, you’ve got to get your foundation right—it’s what you’ll use on every hand.
- Invest in yourself. If you’re getting serious about playing poker professionally, you’ve got to invest in that business—and that business is YOU. Get coaching. Sign up for a training course in your game. Get connected with other players. Your investment will pay off for the rest of your poker career!
- Professionals plan their poker. If you’re looking to play your a-game, don’t waste time playing randomly like so many players do! Figure out when you play your most confidently, when you feel most rested, when you should study your hands… Then stick to your schedule.

About the Author Elliot Roe
Hi, I'm Elliot Roe... And I Help Poker Players Squeeze Every Ounce Of EV From Their Poker Skills and Abilities. Over 7500 poker players have downloaded my Mindset MP3s to boost their focus on the table and to relax and recover post-session. I have personally worked with hundreds more on mastering their emotions and the tabling and developing the “Pro-Athlete Mindset” needed to be successful into today’s games. Creating a strong poker mindset has been the “secret weapon” of the high stakes elite for years now, and I started this site to bring that edge to any player willing to work on that area of their game.
