Learning to Play Poker
Learning to Play Poker is a little like growing up.
When you’re young, you just want to get out there. Try, do, experiment, skin some knees, whatever. Then you start to figure out a tiny bit of what life is about and who you are. You are awkward.
Then a little success, you lose your virginity, and a little happiness sets in. Your parents, your teachers, and any figure of any authority doesn’t know anything. You know everything. Everything. The teenage years are in full swing.
Then real life hits. You go away to school or start a little work and discover there are smarter people with far more experience. You get intimidated. But life is still generally a party, and despite the eye opener, nobody’s hurt you yet. You’ll be fine.
Then the real world hits like a ton of bricks. Work sucks. You’ve got no money. Relationships come and go but a good one is hard to find. And you realize you’ve got two choices - give up or get better.
And you do what you’ve got to do to get better.
