benhoug 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 In one of Doyle's books he writes about playing in a high stakes cash game during dinner break of a big tournament. He apparently took a beating in this side game and when he got back to his tournament table somebody asked him how he did. He replied with something like, "well, if I win this tournament I'll only be stuck $60,000." Link to post Share on other sites

elkang 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I can empathize with that feeling. Luckily, I can control it.Some people call it ambition. Isn't that what it really is? An strong eager desire to achieve something. Real ambition, find joy in the the quest itself and not just the destination. It is just worth it to take that step.I know it is called a sickness frequently, but it is more than that. It's the source of our poker mojo. Sickness implies disease. It's not disease - it's ambition run amok.But, yeah, I'll use the word "sick" since it's common poker parlance.btw, I have little respect for ANY Gamblers Anonymous groups. Especially, those religiously based (which almot all are). And I'm an ex-pastor. Link to post Share on other sites
