Many hands make light work

One of the adages I remember from my childhood is "Many hands make light work". I learned it from my mother; she sometimes said it when she wanted us kids to help out with some household chore. It's certainly a true statement. Perhaps the most famous cinematic illustration of this is the wonderful scene in "The Big Chill" when all the reunited college friends are cleaning up after a big meal, and dancing while doing so :-)

In poker, this adage still holds. The more hands you play in a tournament, the lighter your work load becomes; at the end, it's all play, and all gravy - you've made the money, and you're just waiting to see how big your payout will be.
