One is that it’s the nature of reve-lation to propel us through the paradigm shift, to change the way we think. The other is that it’s the nature of revelation to fade, and unless we keep refreshing our thinking with new revelations even revelations that illuminate the exact same idea-we become stale in our thinking and habituated in our play.

It’s a terribly powerful concept in poker because it explains so well how we go so wrong.

Binion’s World Series of Poker

The World Series of Poker Tournament made its debut in 1970, but the idea actually came from an incident which happened in 1949!
During the summer of 1949, Nicholas ‘Nick the Greek’ Dandolos asked Benny Binion if he could stage a high-stake poker marathon. This marathon should also take place in public view. Although unusual, Benny Binion agreed and the challenger was the legendary Johnny Moss.
