Comeback king/ 12:01 AM Today marks the last of my poker action for the semester. I told myself that I intend to stop until the end of examinations and I have all the intentions to honour that statement. It was nice to play and especially so, when I'm winning :)...oh well, at least I'm being honest. People who lose tend to tilt and proceed with making emotional bets without having second thoughts of the odds that stack against them. At the back of their mind, they are probably still bothered with the previous loss and thinking all the 'Whys' like "why did it happen", "why didnt I do this or that" and "why didn't I stop myself". See, that is an example of a blind walking along the cliff's edge - 100% suicidal intentions and leaving all to luck. Anyone who is blinded with rage or emotions cannot make a sound judgement. Being persistent is good but getting stubborn with principles, can be a recipe for more disaster. There are times aplenty when I made really decisions under a not-so-sound mind. And those were the times I truly regret what I did. One by one, having accumulated these kind of experience, it might have made me a better person, someone who tends to think a lot more, weighing the consequences and asking the simplest questions like "is that what I really want?" I think when I ponder over my situation, I like to observe and study how people around me. I wonder if they're truly clear on what they want, whether they're ready and then, it's judgement call on me once again. It's something like poker, you make your moves at the right time with the help of lady luck. And that reminds me, it's about time to go to guanyin temple before the start of my paper. Any form of divine intervention will be nice :) Anyone interested? Last night was a crazy night. Having spent the night over at wanling's to analyse the case and it really kicked out butts big time. As I said, this competition is small issue cos it's the experience that counts. At most, I'll treat it as each of us spending $5 for HTHT session. Heh~ Now, it does feel good to end on a high for poker. I have again protected my reputation as the "Comeback King" and it will be 2 months before I'll see any poker action. Till then, I'm pretty sure we'll be waiting for the day the poker session convenes with high anticipation! |
