jman,
I remember reading that post this summer as as soon as TC made his post. I instantly thought of this post, nice to reread again.

Poker (gambling in general) is unique in that it’s a game of skill that absolutely revolves around money. Most games have other focuses. In chess, your ‘weapons’ are the pieces; your pawns, your knights, etc. In Scrabble, you use your letter square thingies. In poker, in addition to your cards, money is your weapon. That fact completely changes the nature of the game, because you are using something that you can also use in the real world. I’ve never been playing Scrabble and been like, “Oh man. I could use this Z on that triple letter score space, but I need it to take my friend to the zoo later.” (That’s the best analogy I could come up with)

Hope nobody minds this bump. Jman is sick.

ha ha i was actually thinking this exact thing to myself over the course of a few weeks. getting emotionally involved over anything in poker is so pointless. your edge in poker comes from making the best decisions you can, presumably better than your opponents. everybody will get the same heaters, coolers and setups over millions and millions of hands. its your job to play each hand better than your opponents would, thats all poker really comes down to.

jman is indeed sick though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
