Like life, Poker game is a test of patience.
It will help you to understand your own trigger points for reacting in a particular way in a particular situation.
My strategy is to create 2 accounts.
On one account i play the right way of playing poker with all the possible calculations taking place in my mind.The second account is my favorite as i get to do anything i feel like doing compulsively. This helps me to play risky games which is very much part of my personality. However the first account is where i try to implement all the learning i have gathered through playing high number of hands and i play to win and not to deal with my ego as i do with the second account which takes care of my thirst for living on the edge.
As we all want to live on the edge and also we all want to be safe.
This strategy helps me to keep my focus while in a big tournament.
