Not only is poker good for you, it's the American way, where winners play fair, have the right stuff, and nothing else matters, except, perhaps, a bit of luck every now and then. Lou Krieger

Poker is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and democracy. It can be rough-hewn or polished, warm or cold, charitable and caring, or hard and impersonal, fickle and elusive, but ultimately it is fair, and right, and just. ~L.K.

Understand all of the potential consequences of your actions so that you may properly balance the competing goals of survival and chip accumulation.Every time the action passes to you whether it is to bet, check, raise, or fold, any action or inaction you choose will have consequences.  Therefore, it is imperative that you consider all of the consequences prior to making a decision.  In no limit hold em tournaments, a failure to consider all of the consequences can be fatal.  If you make a substantial semi-bluff bet from early position after the flop, you must know what you will do in the event of a re-raise. Any tournament strategy should revolve around two main driving forces chip accumulation and survival.  These two forces will frequently be at odds with each other because in order to survive, you must protect your chips and in order to advance, you must accumulate chips.  Therein lies the paradox of tournament poker.  You must accumulate chips without jeopardizing your own stack.  How do you accomplish this?  While it is impossible to play poker with zero risk, careful consideration of all of the consequences of every action on your part can certainly minimize your risk and give you a significant advantage.  Poker is a game of imperfect information, which is why it is so important at least to know all of the available information each time it is your turn to act.  Maximizing your knowledge will open the door for you to pick up chips at minimum risk. To learn more about this principle and other principles, read Tournament Poker and The Art of War.
