Throughout the five years I have been playing poker I kept a diary of my play on a spreadsheet. A diary of successes and failures. I found that the main issue was not how to make a profit but how to stop losing my profits.

I found that I was the biggest problem.

There are times when we can all win at poker. We all get great hands dealt to us or we all hit great flops. The real issue is how we manage ourselves to stop us losing the profits and making an overall loss. The first month I turned pro I made an overall profit £498.00. I actually made a profit of £ 4,239.00 but I identified that I had lost £2,573 in a combination of poor decisions and a terrible lack of discipline. The remainder was lost in bad beats that I had little control over. My real profit should have been nearer £ 3,000 for the month.

It was this lack of discipline that was the real enemy to profits. Not my poker knowledge or my poker brain. It was my simple inability to manage myself properly and my pure ill-discipline. I found that I was the biggest problem. I was the enemy that needed to be tamed. Learning to manage yourself and learning to minimise your lack of discipline is the key to making poker profits. Now you can learn techniques to control your own discipline and manage yourself for profitable poker.

This is unlike any poker book I have ever read and for this I am very proud.
