I'm going to write up something a little longer and more in-depth about this at a later time, but for now I just want to quote something from a book that has helped me a lot over the past year.
The Poker Mindset by Ian Taylor and Matthew Hilger
Seven attitudes that every poker player should try to master regardless of their game, limits, or technical skills. They are realities you need to be aware of and attitudes you need to adopt in order to succeed in poker over the long run:
1. Understand and Accept the Realities of Poker
2. Play for the Long Term
3. Emphasize Correct Decisions over Making Money
4. Desensitize Yourself to Money (although I personally think a lot of people do this all too well) 5. Leave Your Ego at the Door
6. Remove All Emotion from Decisions
7. Dedicate Yourself to a Continuous Cycle of Analysis and Improvement
With that said, I would like to link you all to NoahSD's blog so you can become familiar with poker by the numbers: http://www.nsdpoker.com/

Just got kicked out of Taiwan for teaching english without a college degree, sure as hell don't want to go back to the states yet, Thailand it is. (had $500 br at time *didn't know what poker was*)
Arrive at Thailand, go to Khosan Road, stay at the sawatdee inn, go across the street, meet a sweetass hottie n hook up w/ her that night. Few days I had my fun with her, then one night she goes fuckin berzerk on me. I'm like WTF!!! I run to my room and throw about 500-1200 baht at her. (15-40$ish) Party goes on a week on khosan, was fun, but too touristy. (gangja street was fun as hell tho, and only place to safely get green)
Stroke of luck was found. I found a dvd of Rounders and a DVD of Boiler Room for like $2 each on the street.
2nd Stroke of luck was found, met a fucking insanely hot girl at a club and went to her house w/ some friends n partied all night.
3rd stroke of luck was found - my br was at like $200, the next day i wake up and hook up with her. She loves me, I stay there for the remaining 20 days or so freez and live Thai life.
4th stroke of luck was found - Daut44 won a WPT title and inspired me to play poker with all my heart and desire
5th stroke of luck was found - Got to play in some WSOPs and lost to flips and bad beats 2/3 times
6th stroke of luck was found - Becoming a live cash monster while still MTTing and kickin the shit out of cashgames up to NL100 over the last 5-6 months.
Both Michael Bisping and Jorge Rivera have been feeling very confident when interviewed about their upcoming fight.
Rivera has taken it a step further and started making YouTube hype videos about Michael Bisping, most of which revolve around his English accent and how you can barely understand him, his inability to knock anyone out and the way he always speaks in third person.
Michael Bisping: 10-3 in UFC - Notable wins over Matt Hamill, Chris Leben, Yoshihiro Akiyama.
Jorge Rivera: 7-5 in UFC - Notable wins over Kendall Grove and Nate Quarry.
