    About this ebook

    What did Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton, Macarthur, . . . and many other World War 2, United States Army Generals have in common?
    They were all winning poker players.
    It is not surprising that people who could come out on top in a military battle, or war, could also come out on top in a poker game.
    Both involve competing in fields of constantly changing uncertainty in which your opponents can lie, deceive and cheat.
    Both involve intense mental concentration and endurance for several hours or more at a time; constantly calculating probabilities about uncertainties; reading your opponents; deceiving your opponents; and, always knowing that your opponents could be deceiving and even cheating you.

    WINNING GAMBLERS

    To be a winning gambler you need to know 4 things.

    1: When you are being
    deceived or cheated.
    2: When the odds
    are in your favour.
    3: Money management.
    4: Yourself.

    Or, alternatively, only gamble against people who you do win against – people worse than you.

      THE ART OF HORSEMANSHIP

      "When your horse shies at an object and is unwilling to go up to it,

      he should to be shown that there is nothing fearful in it,

      least of all to a courageous horse like him;

      but if this fails,

      touch the object yourself that seems so dreadful to him,

      and lead him up to it with gentleness."

      "Compulsion and blows inspire only the more fear;

      for when horses are at all hurt at such a time,

      they think that what they shied at is the cause of the hurt."

      Xenophon: Chapter VI,

      The Art Of Horsemanship,

      as translated by Morris H. Morgan PhD, 1894.

      Xenophon was a high-ranking officer in the Spartan Cavalry.

      Xenophon wrote, The Art Of Horsemanship, more than 2300 years ago.

      Morris H. Morgan translated it more than 100 years ago.
