Operation Study Poker Books

[Borgib]

I am going to reread all my poker books. This time, I am going to post one sentence paraphrase of each chapter. Every day (hopefully) I will read one chapter from a specific book and try to condense the information from that chapter down to one or two sentences at the most.

I am going to start with "The Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin.
Then I am going to do "The Theory of Poker " by Sklansky

Break you game down into the smallest elements and get comfortable with your talent.

When you lose, use it as a motivation to work harder.

[Borgib]

The key to pursuing excellence is to embrace an organic, long term learning process and not to live in a shell of static, safe mediocrity.

Entity learning, focus on end results only and not the process.

Incremental Learning, focus on the process of learning.

Draw wisdom from every experience good or bad.

Feed back should be on effort

There will be nothing learned from any challenge in which w don't try our hardest.

Growth comes at the point of resistance, we learn by pushing ourselves and finding what really lies at the outer reaches of our abilities.

[Sir Pawnalot]

Wonderful stuff.

Books are based on a handful of ideas- the rest is often just explanations and elaborations. You have done great in boiling down the first chapters into powerful phrases.

This is an interesting twist to an operation, I like it.

Perhaps you could go into more detail in your first paragraph about what stakes/games you play and a bit about your poker background.

Good luck with your readings and poker
