Poker Tips From Star Wars
That's what Jason Scavone is offering over at StickandMove:
In honor of the latest marketing campaign ... er, movie, I'd like to give you my favorite 'Star Wars' quotes as they relate to poker:
'Search your feelings. You know it to be true.' Vader, back to Luke after the big reveal. If you have a strong instinct for a situation, trust it. If a tight player makes a sudden, strange move, that you can't figure out where it comes from but you think means bad news for your top pair, let it go. If you have developed strong instincts for this game, you're probably picking up something unconsciously that you haven't quite consciously parsed yet.
'There will be no bargain young Jedi. I shall enjoy watching you die.' Jabba to Luke after Skywalker offers the Hutt a deal to return Han. We all know what happened to Jabba afterward. Take caution not to underestimate anyone at your table, because that's a mistake that can prove extremely costly.
There's plenty more where that came from, all as entertaining as they are informative.
