Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
It's a complete mental construct
It's a complete mental construct that we use to interface with the world, and connect with others. And not to get too deep, because this is, after all, a texas hold'em poker book, it's ultimately not who we really are. It serves a purpose, and can be a great asset, but can also be a great hindrance. You ultimately make the choice in how you use it to obtain the dreams and desires you have from this life. The self awareness trick is that you learn how to use it to its fullest, and don't allow the bigger part of yourself to be used by it.
There are no instant answers in this area
There are no instant answers in this area but putting some time into this aspect of your life will pay big dividends long term. It may take a decent amount of initial time investment, but if you do it early enough in life, you'll reap many years of rewards from it. That being said, it's never too late to reflect, and learn about yourself.
