This is a nice approach dear mate, keep on reading books.

1- in poker this is paramount, a golden rule
2- anger is tilt, our worst enemy at the tables
4- if your opponents know the way you play, they are dominating your thoughts and reading your mind, turning you into an easy prey at the tables
5- we must use the power of position at poker tables

Do you see? Sun-Tzu was a skillful poker player!!!

There are other books helpful to take care of our mind and seek for the inner power:

Niccolo Machiavelli: The Prince

Robert Greene: The 48 Laws of Power

Cheers!

Love is the answer my friend.
Love is the sole force that builds up this world of chaos.
Love is the key, a human loving not the love of passion and selfishness that seeks to control one’s body and mind!
I love poker, chess, movies, writing, also I love my friends and mates here at CardsChat, a growing and respectful place for all of those who love and are able to learn!
