Iv been playing poker for a few years now but have been more committed to my online poker than live games. Playing online requires a bit more alertness and concentration in terms of not having visual ques to help but rather a deep concentration on player activity, position and hand value. Playing online poker raises a few more issues-mainly the fact that the environment a player plays in is usually his/ her home. Disruptions may arise, children or spouses may interrupt and so forth. With regards to this i have come up with a with points of when not to play online poker. Don't play poker when: Your wife (or husband) calls you on the phone in the middle of a hand. Switch off your phone-this will save you loads of money and unnecessary bets or folds. You’ve had more than one alcoholic beverage. Drinking and playing under the influence can be disastrous. I’ve found that one drink can add a bit of an edge to what might be a more passive style, and can throw off opponents who think they have you pegged, however, any more than that usually leads to reckless aggression, sloppy decision making and loss chasing.  Don’t mix your entertainment with your poker business, and you will have more money left over at the end of the day for additional entertainment! You are angry or emotional. Most players try to take their frustration out on the table-dangerous!! YOU WILL LOOSE TONS OF CASH!! Do what you need to do to get yourself in the proper frame of mind BEFORE you sit down at the table. You are tired.  I’ve read the exploits of online players who have literally fallen asleep in the middle of late-night tournaments, and have woken up to find that they still made the money!  I’ve found that the first thing that usually disappears when you are tired is your patience.  When your body is crying out for sleep, it is much easier to convince yourself to throw away the rest of your chips on a prayer that a more rested self would know has zero chance of being answered. More to come... All-in StefK
