Well, there are 611 a's and 856 e's in this article. Only 74 k's though. Counting both upper case and lower case letters.

How many a, e and k's are there in this comment? ;)

Going to try some of these :P I dont really play worse when im tired unless im really tired same goes with hungry.

I think explaining like a coach is good. when i feel like im making many bad decisions i start talking out load. Saying the hand i have, what i do fold/bet/etc. Go through the hand, look at how the player has played before and how he has played the hand and then make a decision. I always make alot better decisions if i do that, and see its rather obvious he had a big hand or not.

I have minutes of bad cards,I think to read a newspaper cause it would take time to get a nice hand,after that pocket acesno one checks or raises and i bet 3 BB,no one calls(shit),then another 5 minutes with bad cards,then ace king I bet other reraises I reraise and he calls.Not a good flop but I must make my continuation bet and he calls,the turn another stab at the pot he calls.The river no flush or straight draws I bet again all in he calls and he shows jack four so making a pair of fours and beating me,this way I lose my concentracion and get angry,now my lack of concentration brings me a bad mood and I lose,so concentration is gained in time and is an continuous exercise.
