Tip of the Month
Poker is more art than science, and that's what makes it so difficult to master. Knowing what to do - the science - is about 10 percent of the game. Knowing how to do it - the art - is the other 90 percent. You not only have to know when to bet, when to raise, and when to fold … you also have to be able to do those things with a certain finesse."
