Then again, in Poker, honesty is not really a winning strategy.
- sin7 13y agoThen again, Poker is a zero-sum game. Life isn't.
- crusso 13y agoMy point is that Poker and other zero-sum-games are within the set of "stuff in life". Life is not simply composed of "conflict resolution".
- mncolinlee 13y agoActually, for most hands, honesty is helpful for arbitraging risk. You need lying in poker, but it should be the exception. No one will buy your biggest bluffs otherwise.
- crusso 13y agoHow is that fundamentally different from lying outside of poker?
- mncolinlee 13y agoWith poker, the thrill from the risk of getting caught is often why you play the game.
- reddit_clone 13y agoPoker lies are short lived. Once the hand is over, it is done. But in real life you have to remember and maintain your lies. It takes a toll.
