Message: [QUOTE="KingCurtis, post: 839857, member: 27071"] I like to read one chapter or section a day of the book "Zen and the art of poker" and I read about how you should not be cocky or make it a competition, which at first I was like "that's what poker is!"........It explained that it should be a constant war, that being cocky is pointless. There was a lot more to it that made sense as I read and I realize now that even bragging about your winnings should not be done, that I should be on a grind and that If I worry about that than it shouldn't matter how much I won. Also, it said something about others complaining about respect. For example a well known person at the end of a losing hand says I'm an 11 time wsop bracelet winner how could you call my bluff (that was obv). The point is, no matter what someone has accomplished if you can make a good read and know they are making a play then do not hesitate or drop your hand just because they are a pro or famous. [/QUOTE]
