Yesterday I played poker with a new group of more experience players and I got absolutely slaughtered. It was a very humbling experience and made me realize alot of my flaws and weaknesses. I have a sore lack of discipline. I’m too tight when I’m down, and too loose when I’m up. I give up when I shouldn’t, and yet I dig myself in deeper when I should quit. I worry too much about myself and don’t pay enough attention to other people. I allow myself to be read and manipulated far easier than I realise.

I love poker not because of the money, but because of how it’s truly relevant to life. It reveals flaws that you might have not noticed about yourself; because you seldom truly put yourself on the line like you do when playing poker. Game on!
