Never, never let your ego control your play. Like they said in The Godfather, “This is business, not personal.” Never personalize it if an opponent wins a big pot from you, not even if he looks you right in the eye and laughs like a loon as he rakes in the chips. The minute you decide to “ . . . get him,” you’re sure to miss other opportunities and probably squander some chips chasing him down. If the old adage, “Living well is the best revenge” holds true, then playing well—and walking away with a few racks of chips — is a giant step in that direction.
