It helps me sometimes to follow some simple guidelines. Notice that I am calling them guidelines and not rules :) Here are a few:
- Don't chase straights and flushes on a paired board.
- Flop or drop small pairs
- Don't call raises with weak aces.
- Don't shove with weak aces unless under 3 or 4 big blinds.
- Don't chase the lower end of straights.
- Play squeaky tight under the gun and early position.
- Don't limp much, mostly to trap or with small pairs.
- Complete the blind if there are several limpers with any two cards.
- If first in the pot on the button, raise.
- If short stacked and under the gun with 5 big blinds, go all in with any two cards.
- Don't forget to raise with your draws in late position to get a free card.

These "guidelines" are working out quite well for me. I'm being more focused & disciplined too. Last night I got stuck almost $320 but ended up down only $25 on the night. I decided that was a good time to go home. 5.5 hours of poker, food & beverage for only $25 isn't too bad. I can live with that.
Did you play the Friday Moose tournament?
