1. Poker is fifty-percent luck,

    fifty-percent skill, and

    fifty-percent math.

2.  Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.

3.  Most Poker authors recommend a tight aggressive approach for Holdem

    No-limit.  Play relatively few hands (tight), but bet and raise often with

    the hands you do play (agressive).

4.  If you never get caught bluffing, you're not bluffing enough.

5.  Tells:

  a.  If someone gives a speech before they raise, get out of the way.

  b.  Players with neatly organized stacks of chips never bluff.

  c.  A player whose hand shakes when putting chips into the pot either

       has a very strong hand, or has some sort of palsy.

6.  Never, ever, under any circumstances, criticize another player at a

     poker table.
