RE: Life Lessons From the Felt - Anything is Possible!

in #philosophy7 years ago

I have tried poker a few times and done no better at it than luck would imply. The more I looked into how it all works, the more i saw the nature of the game - it's reliance on probability and a player's need to understand maths. And these are not bad things to know and utilise, but i think it needs to be a way of life. You did well to get there, and even make a living from it for a time.

There are people who sort of just pick up an intuitive sense of the odds and do very well just winging it, but yes, in order to be successful you need to radically change the way you view chance and risk.
