"It used to be I’d never shut up. Thirty years later and now I never speak up. It’s not because I lost my tongue. And it’s not because I bite my tongue. It’s because I’ve already said everything there is to say at a poker table, a million times, a million ways."

Hmm. I suppose you've had the "same" conversation a million times--the weather, politics, the ballgame, the election. But you're a more interesting person, and a more interested person, than you've ever been. Maybe, in the old days, you were only a good listener when you were doing the talking. Now you're a great listener even when nobody's doing the talking.

Some here say that, for you, the three most important things in poker are position, position, and position. Maybe you've discovered that the three most important things for you are position, position, and focus?
