Psychology!
Psychology! What a subject for a poker player. I mean after all poker is 100% mental. And the other 90% of the time it's just waiting around to be mental.
Psychology, yes, yes, yes! What in the f... am I doing playing this game? I'm asking this question and I happen to be running good! Do you think Sigmund or even Alan for that matter could have a field day with me?
Well don't look so smug. You're no different. Perhaps you are even worse. No, I'll bet you are worse. Did I say bet? I didn't mean it. Not literally, that is. I don't want you to think that I play poker because I like to gamble or worse I'm addicted to betting. So, trash can the bet. Take it as a colloquialism. You do know what that is, now, don't you? You do? Then maybe you are crazier than me. Why would someone smart enough to know what in the hell a colloquialism is play poker? The only thing I know about a colloquialism is that it doesn't apply to what I tried to apply it to.
Psychology? Does that mean that a poker player should have his head examined? Woe is me, woe is me, poker playing has me on my knee.
Psychology indeed, who needs it? Me? You? Certainly, Sklansky, not to mention Malmuth. O.K. Alan, as soon as I figure out why I need pschology I'm making an appointment. I hope that you are cheap. I need my bankroll to play poker.
