The ego will cause you to make very unwise decisions and take a lot of unnecessary risks. It will also tell you that you are invincible and that you are the best player at the table. This of course is more than likely not the case and coming to the table with this attitude could be detrimental to your game and your pocket. Just about everyone who has visited a casino of some sort testing that guy who feels that he can lose about what kind of decisions he makes. Most of the time one of two things will happen, either this guy will get lucky and do just fine or his attitude will cause him to end up leaving the casino without his shirt.

The ego does not only block your ability to play poker effectively but it also affects other areas of your life as well. If you can practice leaving your ego behind when play poker, there’s a very good chits you may be able to practice leaving your ego behind in other activities as well.
