We asked about "bullying" tactics at the poker table. For some players, this comes naturally. We finished second yesterday at an NBC Sports five-player game to a man who raised on almost every hand.
"Do you make a bet, ever?" he asked.
"When the time's right," we said.
We think some players overdo the bullying. It didn't work for that Italian wunderkind at the NBC Heads-Up Tournament, as Daniel Negreanu slowed him down and beat him. Maybe that's the key to success -- to take a reasoned approach. We found another word for it.
"Let your gentleness be evident to all," Paul advises in Phil. 4:5. Why? "The Lord is near." We think he meant the return of Jesus, which Paul seemed to expect in his lifetime. But if you're a believer, the Holy Spirit is so near He's inside you.
"Be completely humble and gentle...." Paul adds in Eph. 4:2, "bearing with one another in love." May this reflect your attitude as you play -- and think about trying that approach as you play.
