Those who don't play hold'em are not aware
of how much skill is involved; and those who do play forget how much luck is involved.
Think of jacks as colorful elevens.
The
two best hole cards are the ones you never have to show.
You cannot play without fear in multi-table tournaments until
you realize you have already lost.
When the number of players in a tournament is high enough, luck runs all over skill...skill
is just the price of admission.
Why is it correct pre-flop to raise three or four times the big blind, but a post-flop
bet of only one and a half times the size of the pot is an ‘overbet’?
Quantum mechanics reminds us that any given hand
is ruled by probability and not predictability. This means that an unlikely series of outcomes can prevail over any set period
of time.
I will often lead out with a bet after a large pot was just won/lost...It is like the herd just saw one of
its members get taken down by a lion, and then froze for a moment.
