Hi Jedi,

This is a very good post.

This is why a good, perceptive, and highly creative, yet controlled player can bust out the whole table with a really good run of cards, and the "average joe" might book a sizable win, but nowhere near as much. Of course, the true maniac might even book a bigger win, but he will undoubtedly give it all away in short order, whereas someone who understands these concepts and become a temporary maniac (when called for), and knows how to execute, yet knows when to quickly pull in the reins, shall take the money home and keep it.

Keep up the good work,
Don
