The art of War and Poker

IV. TACTICAL DISPOSITIONS

Sun Tzu said:

1. The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then
waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.

6. Standing on the defensive indicates insufficient trength; attacking, a superabundance of strength.

tips from the oldest known text on the sublect of warfare. good advice for poker players if you ask me. I've all but given up SNGs for the lucrative small stakes cash games on UB. The players are so bad, that if you have an hour to kill, you can play only the nuts in the penny Omaha rooms and make $10 and hour. Hands like this make it easy.
