$Turn On, Tune In, and Drop Out$ Ever feel like your brain activity is being monitored by a third party? Well, if the answer is yes, you've probaly experienced a bad trip on an entheogen of one kind or another. If we can all just pause or normal patterns of thought for a minute I'd like to suggest something for those with an "able" ear. Everyone has a different approach to poker, whether they be gamblers, dreamers, or solid strategsts. Now what are your "tendencies", when it comes to your mental state on the felt? (virtual or brick) Whether your mind says "oh so and so card never hits when this or that happens", or you just go on silent tilt easily, or you develop certain disgusts or disregards at certain players. Whatever these such nuances you tend to experience, they can all affect your game. This is way today I am suggesting bi-annual entheogenic mind therapy for serious poker players. Or even to just try it once, and follow up with meditation afterwards, Im sure you will find it helpful. Whether its evaluating the personality of another player, adjusting your own table image charcture to give your self an edge, or just avoiding tilt. Transcending and being capable of putting your mind in a place beyond ego, verbal concepts, and petty doom-gloom type thought processes may be beneficial. I am no poker expert, I only seek to improve every day, but take my advice when it comes to personality fabrication and brainwashing. Try being spock-like in your play. Cordially -Rackroast |
