Poker is a game that invades the long head. I can not spend a single day without playing online poker or other casino games. Sometimes losses, but more often significant gains.

He once told me that in the realm of human interactions, compassion must be a reciprocal practice. If none is forthcoming from the other party, none need be given back. As poker players, we are taught there is no room for compassion in the game. Compassion equals less money. Yet, it is a small sacrifice to occasionally indulge with those more tragic. If then they gloat, meaning they have no understanding of their circumstances, mercy time is over. I have a friend, a practiced Buddhist for 30+ years.

You can't have both equally. One favors harmlessness, and it becomes the context in which poker is seen. The other favors poker, and it becomes the context from which harmlessness is seen. They are infinitely far apart. A seesaw with a small weight on it does not find balance; it leans one way or the other, and in the end, one of the seats ends up on the ground. Even if the weight is small. The notion of balance is just a trick to convince yourself you can have your cake and eat it too! :) In the end, we all have to have a preference.

Or is that too dualistic in thinking? I'm not sure that I'm on the path at all, but lately I've been wondering about the people that get harmed when I participate; those that tilt themselves when I win, or those that are addicted and continue to lose and lose.
