To become a rational player, you must discipline your emotions. Foolish gamblers chase losses and make desperate bets seeking to retrieve what’s lost. I’ve seen many a promising player go bust this way.

You need to calculate probabilities and expected value meticulously on every bet. Consider the pot odds, outs each player needs to improve, and how your position influences what hands beat you. Only call bets that give you the equity to win the pot.

Leave your ego at the table. Don’t worry what others think of your “weak” play. Their opinion matters not. Victory comes to those who make the proper mathematical play time and again. Stay patient. Rationality and skill will prevail over time. Luck comes and goes. Become a machinelike player who grinds the game. The chips will come.
