Bluff Magazine owner cannot spell. Coincidence?

I think not.

So at least 5 people have sent me his little rant and it's quite clear the guy has no understanding of politics and is instead just mad at everything and everybody. This isn't 1773 and you're not going to throw a bunch of British Tea into the Boston harbor. Sure maybe a little name calling will help you feel better, relieved, whatever it is - but certainly won't help the situation. Settle down, Eric. Instead of posting half common sense, half inanity on your MySpace page, perhaps you might be better off enrolling in grammar school and reading up on political information and agenda.

What, to me, is sadder than Eric's little rant is how quickly I see people agree with him or take his word for gospel. Believe me, I want the ability to freely play online poker as badly as anyone, but it won't be won through torching Washington or whatever this guy proposes.

One of the keys to poker is being able to adapt to any situation and being able to first place yourself in your opponents position and then use that information to think one step ahead. This applies to life ten fold. Instead of blatantly ranting on about the injustices that you may think are being done, ask yourself why they are being done and then use that information to your benefit.

Understand your opponent.
