Re: discuss
Below is a slightly modifidied version of a 'Theory' that I posted in the Poker Theory Forum in early December, 2004.
************************************************** ******
Zeno’s Theory of Poker
The only people (or institutions) that make money at poker are those that make a living from other poker players that think they can make a living off of playing poker. The rest is superfluous.
Perhaps another way of stating the above is:
Poker is a continual self-perpetuating hoax, and most that engage in it never realize it.
This is a working hypothesis, which means, in the parlance of science, that it is in a state of flux. What is also paramount to any working hypothesis is what it does not say, either by deliberate exclusion or implicitly.
The above ‘Working Hypothesis’ is a copyright of Zeno World Domination Enterprises Inc. - The first and last in Nuclear Arsenals and other useful toys. Any unauthorized use is strictly prohibited.
