Negreanu Says Keep A List
Not for those trips to the grocery store but a poker list, stupid! According to Team Pokerstars Pro Daniel Negreanu you must carry this list with you to ensure you play poker at your peak. The three tenants of a good poker player follow:
Fundamental Poker, Disciplined Poker, Observational Poker
Without diving into specifics, Daniel says that you have to play good solid poker, behave yourself and not make stupid calls, and pay attention to other players at the table. There, I just accomplished in two sentences what took Daniel a whole page to describe; you can pay me at noduhpoker@paypal.com.
All kidding aside, the article does provide good reading it really delivers another message. Would be poker players who think they have to get tricky and make insane calls to be a good player – are on the wrong track! It all boils down to playing ABC poker for the most part and being level-headed enough to wait and pick your battles. Play solid poker with good starting hands and don’t try to bluff the one player at the table that CAN’T be bluffed.
So now that I’ve given you a primer on Daniels article, you can read it here: http://www.mlive.com/grpress/sports/index.ssf/2008/10/keep_a_personal_checklist_on_y.html
