Was talking to someone the other day and this came about.....when you're playing poker, especially tournament poker, always have a plan for a hand.....I use to make this mistake myself about a year ago where I'd make a play either betting or checking and end up in an awkward situation where I have no clue what to do. People need to think one step ahead and understand all possible outcomes before making their move......the great thing about this is it also makes your decisions alot easier in certain situations - alot of times I'll get to the river and decide to bet/fold - if I get raised its a no brainer fold, and if he calls Im getting some nice value.....you see alot of newer players not setup a plan for the hand and get lost postflop - understand all the variables that are presented and come to a conclusion. Also if you're plan isnt going exactly as you wanted, stick with it. Sometimes Ill plan on 3b/calling someone and their 4 bet sizing will be very scary for example - regardless once I 3b I must stick to my plan - their odd 4 bet sizing could be pretty balanced between monsters and trying to look scary with 99, so I have to go with the plan of action. I think if you always have an intelligent plan of attack, you will always do much better.
Theres my tidbit of info for today now on to the grind :)

Watched your final few tables of the uboc last night. Nice finish. Noticed you tightened up quite a bit at the final table. Card dead or just not trying to jeopardize top 3?
Five fig scores are few and far between on AP so nice work.
