We all Know the cardinal rules of poker.
But we all deviate from these from time to time.
What are your personal cardinal rules that you tend not to deviate from. Or even your murphy's laws of poker.
My biggest one is, I don't look at the chat box until after the first break.
That sounds like a superstition rather than a cardinal rule. My cardinal rule is never call as a small favorite or a big dog. That would be for all of my chips or for most of them and the pot odds are also incorrect to make the call. Another rule I closely try to adhere to is to never bluff a calling station. But that one is less important to me than the one I mention above.
Best rule not to deviate from is to use cash management.
when losing to luck for a few hours just quit take the rest the day off!
thats what im doing now lol
Patience, patience, patience.... then maximize return when the time is right.
Patience is everything. It can turn your cards into gold.
PLay your hand. dont get involced in the ahdn or say anything if you are not invlided
Mine is go until broke........
yea i am pretty much same way.. or have been dont think ill be doing that anymore :)
There is always another hand unless you go broke.

A cardinal rule for me is to stick to brm. Although it's quite hard at times. BTW, your biggest one appears to be a bit superstitious not necessarily a rule.

Don't fall in love with suited connectors, or non-suited ones for that matter.
mines never call allins when possible. some of the stuff i see allin donks push w/ and catch, would rather them go on my terms, another hard 1 to follow sometimes lol

Yeah the don't look at chat until first break is a good one. I've seen a lot of coaches and pros say to never look at chat or never chat in the chat box...you should just turn off chat all together.
My cardinal rule is do not get into any big pots (especially late in tournies) unless I am willing to go all in with the hand. If I am not there is no sense in wasting the chips.
I disagree with the not looking at chat box until after the first break being a superstition. There are a lot of idiots out there who use the chat box to try to get you off your game so to not look at it for the first hour is not a bad idea.
dont be a dumbazz
NUMBER 1 rule do NOT get tilted, no matter what
One thing that I probably shouldn't do, that I break from the mold of "traditional" poker is to play like a donkey when I've recognized that someone is playing overly aggressive all the time with nothing. Sometimes you run into a monster, most times you can make them fold. Match their excitement in other words. haha
don't ever play the first hand :p
yea Bankroll management should be ur number 1 priority
bankroll management is the most important thing possible. If you do this, you will never need to deposit again. I didn't become a winning player until I started playing with less than 2% of my bankroll on the line. Not to mention you'll play better without the hindering worry of if you'll lose too much at once. Also, this will protect you against even the worst of bad luck streaks - your aces get cracked 20 times in a row - then you still have enough $ to make a comeback with. Bankroll management = psychological advantage.
Put it in and pray lol
dont let the woman burn you and take that 50 percent. used them, abuse them and dump them first before they do it to you.
Never overcook a cardinal; and never eat it in front of its loved ones.
