Life lessons from Texas Hold`em Poker
Know your opponents - In life, you have to know the people you are dealing with. Know their "tells", study their moves, know when they are ernest and when they are bluffing.
Be consistent - In poker, you have to be consistent in order not to show your own tells.
Dont expect to win with the river - dont expect too much, dont expect to win the lotto. Make decisions (to fold or not) based what you have (your own cards)
Know when to fold - life is unfair, you must know how to cut your losses. Know when to fight; know when to run to fight again another day.
Dont be greedy - even when you've got a good hand, bet or raise modestly.
Three 2's beat two aces every time - sometimes, the little things add up... better stock up on the small things that matter rather than wish for big things that you will discard sooner or later anyway.
When you get lucky, dont brag - people hate lucky people who brag.
Stack your chips in order - neatness counts
Money is just a way of keeping score - `nuff said.
In poker as in life, be like a duck - calm above water even if you're paddling like crazy beneath.
Even when you lose, you get to eat the nachos - your friends will give you some for sure.
