Recently, I've been reviewing and sorting my stored poker articles and forum posts when I rediscovered this little gem. It's a Cardplayer's article: Poker Mantras - Two questions to ponder during the play of a hand that I found extremely useful and insightful at the most critical moment of my poker career - when starting, with no idea of anything. It's not exaggerating when I say that it is this line of thinking, along with some others that completely changed me as a player once I started to use it. Read it and apply it, till it becomes your second nature. I'm thankful I did.
