First, use position to steal blinds. Always be stealing blinds. Like what Alec Baldwin said in Glengarry Glen Ross, "Always be closing." In other words, stop pussy footing around and get that money quick.
Second, if someone else is in the game (even a limp), don't play unless you've got a solid hand. Look at our chart to help you out. If it's not on that chart don't play. JUST PLAY SOLID.
Third, listen to music and draw yourself away from the game. Do emails or homework, anything to get your mind off the game. This stops you from getting too deep and tilting your game.
Fourth, remember your players. Not rocket science or deep analysis, but pay attention to what they do, how they bet, when they fold, and who is weak. Your money will come from the left (the weaker players) when they're folding to your nut hand.
Fifth, at the bubble, get aggressive. Get mad, get crazy. Many times (especially in small games) you're dealing with conservative, tight asses. You stir the pot, they move away. They think you're crazy and they get scared. They hold onto their pennies. Repeat step one. Kill that bitch.
That's all I have to say.
