Business: From A Poker Game Point Of View
EVALUATING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES- Table selection is the most important decision you can make.
- It's okay to switch tables if you discover it's too hard to win at your table.
- If there are too many competitors (some irrational or inexperienced), even if you're the best it's a lot harder to win.
- Act weak when strong, act strong when weak. Know when to bluff.
- Your "brand" is important.
- Help shape the stories that people are telling about you.
- Always be prepared for the worst possible scenario.
- The guy who wins the most hands is not the guy who makes the most money in the long run.
- The guy who never loses a hand is not the guy who makes the most money in the long run.
- Go for positive expected value, not what's least risky.
- Make sure your bankroll is large enough for the game you're playing and the risks you're taking.
- Play only with what you can afford to lose.
- Remember it's a long term game. You will win or lose individual sessions, but it's what happens in the long term that matters.
- Don't play games that you don't understand, even if you see lots of other people making money from them.
- Figure out the game when the stakes aren't high.
- Don't cheat. Cheaters never win in the long run.
- Stick to your principles.
- You need to adjust your style of play throughout the night as the dynamics of the game change. Be flexible.
- Be patient and think long term.
- The players with the most stamina and focus usually win.
- Differentiate yourself. Do the opposite of what the rest of the table is doing.
- Hope is not a good plan.
- Don't let yourself go "on tilt". It's much more cost effective to take a break, walk around, or leave the game for the night.
- Educate yourself. Read books and learn from others who have done it before.
- Learn by doing. Theory is nice, but nothing replaces actual experience.
- Learn by surrounding yourself with talented players.
- Just because you win a hand doesn't mean you're good and you don't have more learning to do. You might have just gotten lucky.
- Don't be afraid to ask for advice.
- You've gotta love the game. To become really good, you need to live it and sleep it.
- Don't be cocky. Don't be flashy. There's always someone better than you.
- Be nice and make friends. It's a small community.
- Share what you've learned with others.
- Look for opportunities beyond just the game you sat down to play. You never know who you're going to meet, including new friends for life or new business contacts.
- Have fun. The game is a lot more enjoyable when you're trying to do more than just make money.

Best Verse of The Year(s), Arguably EVER
Taken from "Live Your Life" by T.I. feat. Rihanna on his latest LP PAPER TRAIL
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid.
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics.
Articulate but still would grab a nigga by the collar quick.
Whoever havin problems, with they record sale just holla TIP.
If that don't work and all else fails, then turn around and follow TIP.
I got love for the game but ay I'm not in love with all of it.
Could do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comedy.
The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguing.
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in.
Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositin
Them checks into your bank account, and you up out of poverty.
Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly.
Unhappy with the riches cause you piss-poor morally.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?
