[b]Things those who are really intelligent know[/b]

[FONT=Palatino Linotype]In many ways poker is a game not unlike chess or other games that require  various levels strategic and tactical thinking. I remember something I learned in college which is a paraphrase of elements of the Socratic method of teaching, taught by a professor I thought very smart.

I think they apply to poker - here they are.

[/FONT][INDENT][B][I]Things those who are [U]really[/U] intelligent know[/I][/B]
[LIST]
[*]To know all is impossible, even the smartest human being - and that is likely not you -  is incapable of knowing everything

[*]To attempt to know all or to appear thus is folly and frequently has the effect of making you appear or actually being unintelligent, lacking knowledge and unable to accept knowledge.

[*]Suffer those who know less. It is no diminution of your knowledge to accept and enable learning by others. Be gracious in the presence of those learning what you know and know that, [U]if[/U] you are intelligent, to be reminded of what you know is good and will sometimes broaden the knowledge you think you have.....

[*]Not be threatened by those who know more - they are legion

[*]Gratuitous, critical remarks of others reflect poorly on the author
[*]Be magnanimous in the presence those who are not your equal[/LIST][/INDENT][FONT=Palatino Linotype][I]OSU professor : Charles Linebeck / Socrates
