The way for becoming a poker star is simple, but harsh, much discipline is needed in order to conquest this path. While eager poker players would probably rush and miss their goal, you would not; simply stick to the following "moral" rules and you will achieve your goal.
- If you find that the money aspect of poker attracts too much of your mind, then start practicing in free online poker rooms. This atmosphere would "clear" your head. Contain your gambling to virtual chips that worth their weight and nothing more. By doing so you'd get a real perspective of how to gamble. After a while you'd be able to gamble on cash but this time your concentration would not be distracted by the value of money. You'd be able to make painful but necessary decisions regarding your money.
- Learn Zen. As simple as Zen can be so should you be. Many believe that a poker player should adopt some "spiritual" method which will help them to be in control, thus being in a perfect position in order to "bluff" other players. It is true that a poker player should adopt some kind of technique which will help him to control himself, but not from the reason of bluffing. Such method would help you make decisions that are most of the time obscured by the nature of poker – its gambling aspect. Much more can be added here, but these two points would help you to start building your path to become a poker star.
