“The bird of paradise alights only on the hand that does not grasp.” ~ Zen

No doubt you’ve seen that the players that have the biggest problems in the game are the ones who ‘demand’ something from it. It’s like it owes them something, or they think they ‘have something coming’.

Poker is a lover you can only attract by showing your indifference to her. The minute you show that it really means a great deal to you, that you really want it badly and feel you deserve it, she becomes disenchanted and walks away.

“Not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking something will you be on the right road to the gate.” ~ Zen [again]
