My approach to every game was to try to erase the games that were before and try to focus on the game at hand.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learn something new every game. Every game is always different, no matter how you try and think about it beforehand.
I'm just kind of focused on playing the game and try to get better at certain things and wipe the slate clean every night.
But when I play, I still practice hard and focus on my game.
Just try to focus one game at a time, not worry about points or anything like that. Worry about playing the right way and see what comes of it.
Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't.
Every game, and almost every life situation, has short cuts: ways you can get better without learning the entire literature of the game from beginning to end.
I used to game a lot, and I used to game a little too hard.
I have always made sure that I put my game ahead of anything else, sometimes even before friends and family.
Play more than one game at a time. This is a painless way to learn how to do many things at once.
Play every game as if it is your last one.
