Removing Your Emotions

The two main methods of removing emotion from your Texas Hold’em play and investing are:

1) Use rule-based systems for evaluating hands and probabilities as much as possible and apply them rigorously regardless of what your emotions are advising.

2) If you suffer a bad string of results you should stop or reduce the level of your playing.

The same approach is necessary when approaching your investment decisions. Adhere rigorously to your rule-based decision process and reduce / cease investing in the market if investment results cause your emotions to interfere in your decision-making processes.
