To follow up to Fro's post: I had the opportunity to sign up to play in the same tournament this Friday night, but have decided that I am going to pass up the tournament because the rules and structure don't play to my strengths and don't give me the best possible chance to win. That's not to say that Dr Fro's decision to play is wrong - and it's probably not the wrong decision because he's much better at me at adjusting his game to non-typical rules and changing circumstances.

There's a poker lesson here: you don't have to play in every game. While we may all be able to relate to the wild west legend of Canada Bill Jones choosing to play with cheaters because "it's the only game in town," the truth is that we don't have to play whenever we can. Choose the games that play to your strength and choose your opportunities. There is nothing wrong with giving yourself the best chance to win.

(This is especially true for wild and whacky home games - think about it - or better yet, maybe Fro can expound some more on his home games post below)
