WTF?!?!?

Yes, you heard that right! I don't know WTF is happenning to me now, I don't feel the itch to play no more. It's been bugging me for quite a while, I miss hanging out and playing cards. But Tilter suggests, I finish reading Beyond Tells by J. McKenna before I play again. Im feeling exactly like fish out of water.

I was browsing through this book I read a year and a half ago, The 48 Laws of Power by R. Greene. To my surprise, now that I read some of the laws again, I find it very applicable and powerful to use them at the poker table. Let me share to you guys one law...

LAW 48 ASSUME FORMLESSNESS

JUDGEMENT
By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack. Instead of taking a form for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself adaptable and on the move. Accept the fact that nothing is certain and no law is fixed. The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water; never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything changes.

I just love the way he said 'never BET on stability'. When you think you're stable and ahead you bet and then you get beat, it's how the game is. The last line of this law goes something like this...'You use formlessness, not because it creates inner harmony and peace, but because it will increase your power... It means that ultimately you must throw out the laws the others preach, and the books they write to tell you what to do, and the sage advice of the elder.' 'The book states '...the definitive guide to modern manipulation.' Sounds like a good guide to me, take a look at it, and trust me it is a power poker book. ;)

I wish to become formlessness... fluid like water... fish to the water.

Fishizzle!
