Zen & the Art Of Poker Lesson I Learned Today
I just finished the calmness & rhythm section in Zen & the Art of Poker. Excellent section that talks alot about not trying to bully the table or alternatively be a rock. Its about taking the middle road because thats what works. Sure bullying SOMETIMES works and being a rock SOMETIMES works but the middle way works most if not all the time.
“Advance with bayonet; if you encounter mush, proceed; if you encounter steel, fall back.”
-Zen & Art Of Poker
Tonight I was playing and I encountered “steel” so too speak and I did not back down. As a result I lost the entire pot:
Should Have Withdrawn
The guy was betting small through out the hand and I of course overvalued Top Pair. That last bet I should have folded.
Hopefully I will know for next time.
