THE ART OF WAR

"Warfare is the highest affair of state, the basis of life and death, the Tao to survival or extinction.” “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles”.
A poker genius or a poker monger? It is important to have a clear idea not only about one's own strengths but also that of the enemy at the poker table. The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victims. Offering us a larger view, on the basis of which we can act effectively in the world.
We must deal with both strategic thought and philosophical ideas, which have since been widely applied in the arena of poker. Always remember to have fun, and apply the concept of three P, patience, persistence and practice.
We evaluate the most powerful and significant options and then grouped them by similarity. This develops into six principles that capture strategic philosophy. They are:
Win All Without Aggression: Achieving the Objective without Destroying It
Avoid Strength, Attack Weakness: Striking Where the Enemy Is Most Vulnerable
Deception and Foreknowledge: Winning the Information War
Speed and Preparation: Moving Swiftly to Overcome Resistance
Shaping the Opponent: Preparing the Battlefield
Leadership: Leading by Example
In summary, these ideas are timeless and apply to any strategic situation. Remember when you play you are at war – all those adversaries want your $$$$$.
Good Luck at the tables - Thanks
