zen and tao

[rgschackelford]

I have both, and have read most of Zen. I, unfortunately, have not gotten around to reading Tao. Zen can help level you out and is good for clearing your head, as everyone else has said. However, if you're a tournament player, "Tournament Poker and the Art of War" is excellent. That book gives you a killer instinct, and puts stress on the basic balancing act in a NL tournament, which is chip accumulation vs. survival. It repeats this so much that you never lose focus of what the tournament is really about. A great read!

I hope this was of help.

Yeah, I liked it too. I don't think I'll ever forget that a tournament is about balancing the needs between chip accumulation and survival after reading that book.

true. I have Tao and it is a 90 minute read, worthwhile imo. Pay no heed to the superstitious parts though.
