Your PERSONAL cardinal rules.

[NuGHuFFeR]

Yeah the don't look at chat until first break is a good one. I've seen a lot of coaches and pros say to never look at chat or never chat in the chat box...you should just turn off chat all together.

My cardinal rule is do not get into any big pots (especially late in tournies) unless I am willing to go all in with the hand. If I am not there is no sense in wasting the chips.

[pokerdemon24]

I disagree with the not looking at chat box until after the first break being a superstition. There are a lot of idiots out there who use the chat box to try to get you off your game so to not look at it for the first hour is not a bad idea.

NUMBER 1 rule do NOT get tilted, no matter what

[CTAnon]

One thing that I probably shouldn't do, that I break from the mold of "traditional" poker is to play like a donkey when I've recognized that someone is playing overly aggressive all the time with nothing. Sometimes you run into a monster, most times you can make them fold. Match their excitement in other words. haha

don't ever play the first hand

yea Bankroll management should be ur number 1 priority

[buonafide]

bankroll management is the most important thing possible. If you do this, you will never need to deposit again. I didn't become a winning player until I started playing with less than 2% of my bankroll on the line. Not to mention you'll play better without the hindering worry of if you'll lose too much at once. Also, this will protect you against even the worst of bad luck streaks - your aces get cracked 20 times in a row - then you still have enough $ to make a comeback with. Bankroll management = psychological advantage.
