I'd love to see a photo of that last post-it note :lol:


I used to have an A4 sheet stuck to the desk with similar KPIs - most helpful in remaining disciplined. Alot of it was PLO and PLO8 specific though.

By the way Brett,

more than two years - I played before we went down for Dad's birthday.
I can't be sure.

So how long have I been playing poker for (cash)?

I like post it notes on the computer monitor.

"I have a right to the pot, but the pot is not mine until I have won it"

"The chips I put into the pot will come back to me, not this hand but possibly the next."

"I must strive for +EV"

"Variance is the bane of my existence, but it is a fact of life. Everything balances out in the end"

"Being ridiculed because of the "bennyjam" is not fun and I must discipline myself to stop being a complete twat - it's ok to give up on a pot if I'm behind".


Stuff like that should help.


thanks for the advice garth - discipline is definitely something i need to work on. and post it notes are a good way i think.

btw, i dont mind having a reputation of throwing my chips in light - i can assure you that it does pay off sometimes - but i just do it WAAAY too often.
