What does make a difference
I don’t find my mood impacts my play, but what I do know is a leak is if I play when I’m tired. One of my most embarrassing moments at the tables was in Vegas after only a few hours of sleep. I cap the river, flip my cards, and it isn’t until the dealer pushes the pot the other way that I realize that my Q high straight isn’t any good if it doesn’t include a 10.
I’ll sometimes play late into the night online, which I can do on automatic pilot pretty safely. But I’ll never play a live game unless I’m feeling reasonably sharp/rested.
