Jack of all traders

I was able to watch the Dario Minieri Interview, which was embedded in Best Poker Moments, one of the web sites that I always visit, and he was saying something about his experiences in the WSOP or the World Series of Poker and he talks about why he loves this game and why he would continue doing this. He said that the one thing that he loves the most about this is the opportunity to make use of psychology in every game that he plays because he can use most of his brain power thinking of the next move, as well as predicting and reading other players’ minds. It is actually one of the things why I like playing poker… it is a game that you play not just to have fun, but also to see how well you can use your mind in certain situations, especially when the bluffing starts to conquer the table. The idea of thinking ahead is also nice and it is basically like playing chess, where you try to plan your next move, even before you do your turn. It is cerebral in nature and I don’t think there are any other games out there that can match the intellectual excitement of this game.
