This whole thread is pretty ridiculous. Poker isn't a war; neither is it an eternal struggle against sin or an attempt to perfect oneself. There's no state of nirvana or other religious connotations. It's a game of cards. Just play some cards, and forget about all of this mysticism nonsense. This must have been inspired by that post a few days ago about going with the flow or something, which was basically just an exercise in trying to somehow relate poker to various metaphors.
