Because in poker, if you play and think like everyone else, youll also get results just like everyone else.Theres a saying in the golf world that you dont worry about the other players. You just play the course. It doesnt matter if youre playing in a big tournament against a hundred other players or against just one. It doesnt matter if youre playing against Tiger Woods or against Woody the Woodpecker. You cant control what they do, so they can only be a distraction.All that matters is the course. And the only thing you can control is how you play it.This is a powerful idea, and it applies just as well in poker.
