Alex’s advice is spot on. I myself hero call too much on rivers-I’m working on that.
I believe the most important advice he gave was on hydration and sleep. I have my own anecdote about that.
Last year in the $600 Deepstack Championship on Day 1 I built what could’ve been the biggest stack in the whole room. But towards the end of the long day I lost most of it back. I was unable to focus and made some big mistakes. It was then that I noticed that all day I had drank only two-thirds of one of the tiny water bottles they give away. Not only that but I wasn’t getting good sleep. I was staying with my brother in Vegas and they have a parakeet that screeched every morning around 6:00 and woke me up. Expensive lesson learned.
