Another basic skill that should be part of a good player's strategy is the ability to avoid losing control of the game. Your opponents will use your emotions against you, but only in case you let them. Playing under the influence of emotions causes you to make wrong decisions and lose money. Losing control of the game and succumbing to emotions can happen to anyone. Sometimes the only salvation is to leave the game table. This is not a problem because the game will still be available in ten minutes. In truth, it will also be available the next day.
