Homework:

Question 1: What is your motivation for playing poker?
Money, a lot off easy money in wrong hands ♦. Freedom, you can play whereever you are or want (except USA). Independence, you are the architect of your own fortune, you are the master of your own destiny. Development, you have to learn and work on your skills all the time, because game is evolving, so its never boring.

Welcome to the Course and Best of Luck. Good job! Homework #1 Done!

Don't worry about your English, I understand so far everything. Most of the ENG community members ain't native speakers.

Discipline is common problem for a lot of players. Few things you could set up for yourself is that you can put a plan which you follow. How long sessions you have, when you play and not only about poker but could even set up some other schedule as well like doing some sports. But keep in mind that forcing yourself and getting used to the schedule is kind of must. At first it might be difficult but after time you adjust. The same goes for distractions what are common to happen when you ain't disciplined enough, try to remind yourself what you are doing on the table! Focusing enough is the key.

Being not enough concentrated, being lazy, all those things will make you lose a lot money. Do you want that? No, of course we don't want that, therefore treat it as business as you pointed out from the book. It's very important to do that.

Tight style is usually called playing selected hands. Like following the Starting Hand Chart. Aggressive should be also pretty clear that already the word says how you should be playing. But the problem playing aggressively is that you have to watch that you don't play too aggressive. Find good spots, find good targets. About The tight-aggressive strategy you can read in this article: "What is the Big Stack Strategy?"
