2. Have a good balance of playing and studying.
John Costiniano is the second player we have comes across that promotes studying. it just shows how important it is.
Just because you won an event does not mean you can win forever. It is a constant battle that would change and evolve as time passes.
Don’t just keep playing. Take some time to study as well.
3. Surround yourself with like-minded people, have a crew to work with, the game is too easy for us to get blindsided no matter what level u are.
Having the right group is very important. It is your support group. it is your motivator. It also helps broaden your horizons.
Have friends that will help you evolve.
4. Working on your mental game is just as important as working on your strats.
Mental health is important as you are playing a mental game. keep it healthy.
5. How you do one thing, is how you do everything. Be structured and disciplined in every way of life, you’ll be surprised how stars will align as you go.
All of the champions we have interviewed so far stressed that discipline is the key.
Discipline is considered one of the important things to maintain playing poker.
But John explained it deeper.
It is how you do things no matter how small it may be, that can make a bigger impact later on.
Its creating good habits that will help you become a winner.
6. Keep an open mind. Even from talking to the weakest player u know for sure you’ll learn a little something
Even a fool can say something wise. always keep an open mind when talking to people. Do not let your ego take you over. always be prepared to listen.
