The poker tide

In poker, luck flows in and out like the tide. If you attune yourself to the rhythm, playing well comes as naturally and easily as breathing. When you play a tournament, you often don't have the time to wait for the tide to come in. When you play a cash game, though, you have nothing but time. Not only do you know that the tide will always come back in, you also know that the best time to leave a game is immediately after the tide has come back in. Last night, I reached a profit of over $100,000 three separate times, falling back to just above my starting stack after the first two. I knew enough to quit after the third.
