Currently reading the Zen of Poker and it’s main premise is learn how to fold and to emotionally disassociate yourself from the game and it variance. It is a good book as I realise that I haven’t quite yet learnt to detach myself from the game. There is a Zen level for me to attain where I will have no emotion just mastery and I look forward to it.

  1. Regard patience as a central pillar of your game
  2. The long run is longer than you think
  3. To win at poker you must embrace the idea of breaking even
  4. See poker as a continuum that goes on forever
  5. Detach yourself emotionally from the game
