Mental edge.

I have decided sporatically i will try and post some theory posts on here. So look for them every now and again. Along those line I have a passage for you to think about. I think this relate to poker extremely well.

Grace Under Fire
In extreme situations, when you are forced to make decisions under pressure, the key is to stay calm and settled down. By doing so you can think clearer and make better decisions. of course, to stay calm and settled under extreme conditions is a difficult thing to do. The way to do it is to not concern yourself with what the consequences will be, and that must weigh into your decision, but you have to look at it as if you are deciding it for someone else. It is liike a lawyer deciding what statements or arguments to make. It could be the difference of wether someone lives or dies, yet he can thing clearly becuase it is not his life that hangs in the balance. Even when things seem overwhelming, stay calm and focused. Eventually you will have things under control.
