“More the knowledge lesser the ego, lesser the knowledge more the ego...”
~Albert Einstein
Ego is a force we regrettably deal with on a daily basis. It is as much a threat to our personal relationships as it can be to our professional success. The poker table has a particularly cruel way of bringing the ego out of players, and the effects of this condition can take a severe toll on their bankrolls.
Ego is often the underlying cause of “tilt” and many other costly leaks in one’s game. Left unchecked, it can spell the end of a poker career of an otherwise good player.
