The Road Less Traveled: The Psycho Path
Ah, the poker life! The older I get, the better my past gets...
OJ Simpson's 405 Freeway Chase, William Jefferson’s Monica Affair, and Ace Jack – The road less traveled: the psycho path!
Ace Jack is also known as Slick Willy – The Bill Clinton. I don’t know why. Ask Monica or Hillary... oh wait...
DONK! Ace Jack is my Monica, and like Bill Clinton, I too admit to having an "inappropriate relationship" with Ace Jack! It keeps screwing me out of money.
The 3-Second Rule vs. LA’s 45-Minute One
Car accidents and high-speed chases can wreak havoc on the freeway. I remember LA’s concrete jungle, the 405, turning into the world’s largest parking lot on June 17, 1994.
People began talking about the “Remember the 45-minute rule.” I started driving extra early, worried about traffic jams.
Where Attention Goes, Chips Flow
My mental anchor of AJ = Bad Beat made me treat Ace Jack like a losing proposition. But poker, like life, is about process over results.
Time without attention is worthless. Value attention over time. Stop waiting for “better spots” – pick a favorite hand and play it strong.
