When we get better at poker, we get better at life. Poker teaches us to be more realistic, more strategic, more patient. When we carry these qualities from the table into life, life gets easier. And then, poker gets easier. Here’s to getting better. At everything.

Missed information in a cash session "is like money lost. Money that can never be recovered. Consider the gorgeous geysers of information that we call showdowns. Each time I miss one due to distraction, it feels like my net worth just took a hit." @tommyangelo.bsky.social for @pokerorg.bsky.social

A mindful breath doesn't need to be deep or long. Most breaths are short and shallow. You can be aware of those too.

There must have been a time when I was so green at poker that I didn’t even know when to get upset. That lasted, like, a week. Now, fifty years later, I can touch that innocence, but without the ignorance, and the only word for it is bliss.
