There's something very appealing and satisfying about things in the miniature, things which have been distilled to their essence. Some examples: bonsai, haiku, sushi, ships in a bottle, miniature books, chess miniatures, dolls, doll houses, toy cars, toy trains. Let me suggest an addition to this list: miniature poker sessions. I'll call them min sessions for short. A min session is a short session which illustrates some basic poker truths, despite its brevity. A perfect min session is one where you win a small amount of money. Somewhat paradoxically, it's not a perfect min session if you win a ton of money. The idea behind the perfect min session is that you win what you can reasonably expect to win if you follow all the poker wisdom you've gained from your years of play. Winning a ton of chips in a single session is fun, but it's not the result of skill; you certainly can't expect to do it all the time. Winning a small amount of chips, consistently, is what you can expect to do most of the time, once you've become a poker sensai. Last night, I had s perfect min session. I'll let the stats speak for themselves.
