Philosophy: What’s in your hand?

A strange question really but what it means is a question of whats in your control, and equally as important, what isn’t?!?

So, What’s in your hand? What are you wired to do? What is your identity, your income, your influence?

With all the things you can use to influence the world you inhabit, what are you doing with those opportunities and are you doing enough with them? Could you do more?

Simply put, yes! We can always do more to enhance our own potential by learning new things all the time to help us get what we want out of life. At the moment i’m in a losing period of poker play so for the past two days and potentially forever, (I won’t make a light remark like this and not mean it!) I have been analysing my game from all angles including adding new moves and deep hand analysis. As I said in a previous post, My Learning Process, I was unsure of whether a constant learning of new technical material would improve my game quicker as I wondered whether it would affect my winrate in the short-term. This game, however, is ALL about the long term and so I can’t know if I don’t try. Besides, it has occured to me that I’m missing a trick here and think it wise to pursue this path until I know otherwise. Right now, I’d say it’s much more worthwhile just practicing all the techniques you can as you might just pick up on a profitable situation you couldn’t see before. This has proven to be very true.

What are the unique and innovative uses for your talents? Don’t be held back by fear to do the amazing. Something is only impossible until it’s not. To that end, don’t deny your own abilities, hone them. Look at what you can do and reach out beyond your limitations and do more than you thought you could with what you have. Many inventions start off as something entirely different to what the inventor originally intended them for. Honing your talents is much the same, as you never know just how you’ll end up using them. Poker has been a revelation to me on so many fronts its difficult to mention them all!

As an aside, I applied my Horse Racing system very effectively at the Aintree Grand National meeting last weekend. Backing 22 (3 Wins, 5 Places; +20 Points to Level stakes). Laying 76 (69 Wins, 7 Losses; +34.51 Points to Level stakes). A very profitable meeting for me, the people I gave tips to have been very appreciative

Good luck, Check me out on www.twitter.com/tmte.
