Stay Focused On Your Game

Focusing on your abilities is not always enough to becoming a winning player.  You’ve got to stay focused on the game as well.

One of the pitfalls of becoming a professional player is the bad habits that you can pick up.  Some pro players get bored in Vegas, or on the road, and delve into other realms of gambling they are not successful at.  Then their poker bank roll is gone.  They are broke! 

Stay with what you do best.  Some of the best poker players can be broke because they get involved in other things like sports gambling or craps.  Some of the best are addicted to gambling that is not plentiful.

Vince looked at the poker players that were successful over long period of time for inspiration and leadership.  There are a lot of great poker players that don’t have assets accumulated, but the ones that do didn’t delve into other things.

Vince’s tips to help you win?  A general statement from Brent Carter sums it up - pay attention.  If you don’t, you lose edge.  You might miss someone’s tell.  You don’t realize this guy’s telling you he doesn’t have a hand because you’re watching the football game.  You have to pay attention.
