Life is a game of Poker. Everybody has been dealt cards and it's how you play those cards that determine your fate. Nothing excites me more than trying to determine others peoples cards. Sometimes it's easy to determine what a person has due to their actions and demeanor. Every tick, facial move, hand gesture, vocal pitch, eye move, and shake has a meaning. It is the art of interpreting those tells that answer questions regarding the appropriate move. The exciting aspect of life, like poker, is that its not cheap. We are all in the game of life together but realistically we are in for ourselves. We have direct control over our actions and it is important to understand all the variables before making a decision. Unfortunately, we can only do so much. There are many things out of our control and we chance risk for reward in order to move forward on life's journey. Sometimes it takes a bluff to succeed or betting to position yourself to play your opponent. It's pride however that gets in the way of folding. When your beat your beat and you can never win or lose money you don't put into the pot. Patience is a virtue and therefore important to understand. Wait for the opportunity to pull the trigger when you are ahead you greatly increase your chances of winning. Play others and be careful not to get played.
