"If only one day we can get together again, " KT said, rather wishfully as he sipped his tea. "Andy, Chris, Jimmy, you and I like how we used to when we played poker in our bachelor days over 20 years ago."
Poker is fun but it is not a nice and friendly game. It is brutal and is filled with deception. One must play with ruthlessness and a cut-throat cunning. There is only one overridding mindset - to accummulate someone else's - and everyone else's - money.
Despite all the good time we may share with our poker pals, we have no allies during a game. No matter what the stakes - cents, peanuts or pot limit - everyone there is trying to take away what is rightfully ours.
I hear industry leaders often talking about strategy as if it were some kind of chess match. The way I see it, the real world is much more like a poker game - with players trying to make the best of whatever hand life has dealt them.
