Recently, Ben aka 3kingoutman told me that if I use the tournament info box cover the flop and the turn, it will increase the winning percentage. At first I was laughing of loud when I heard that. Then I tried couple of times just for fun. Its actually great idea! The good thing is when i cover the board, I don't feel the pain when i lose. I haven't been really on tilt during last week even though I was losing 3k before I got 2 FTs of the 5050 and 17k.

The more I think about this, the more I like it. The fact is we just care the result, we don't need to care how sick it is. We don't have to think a lot when u see bad flop, good turn then bad river or something like that. We know we do the right thing, the rest is luck. We only need one second to take a quick look at the board then moving on. Its one of best ways to avoid tilt in my opinion.
More than that, you focus more on your moves, your bet sizing, how your opponent reacts to your bet, etc. I even try to cover the board when I raise preflop and get called. Most of the time, I cbet without seeing the flop, Im not scared of getting reraised as before. Its great experience. Definitely my game has been up to new level after knowing this skill.
