You need to have one or more strategies, practice them, and follow them religiously—to the point where you play mechanically, with a cool head and no emotion. If you play based on emotion—taking excessive risks or focusing solely on the money—your own mindset will become your worst enemy; it will cause you to lose every time, and, worst of all, it will cause you to lose all your money.
