  Everyone who has seen the majority of the Star Wars series of films has heard Yoda rail against how bad having attachments in your life can really be. One would think that life lessons from two and a half foot puppet would fall on deaf ears, but in England "Jedi" came in just behind Muslim and Hindu in a survey of religions in Britain. So apparently somebody was listening to that little green freak. The painful part is admitting that he was right about attachments in regards to the game of poker.



  There are no friends when playing poker. You may exchange light banter with somebody at the table, or make eyes at the cute girl sitting in the big blind, but going easy on somebody just because you have been lifelong buddies is a good way to lose money.



  Showing weakness because you have history with somebody will be like ringing the dinner bell for them. By not putting your foot on their neck when you have the chance and not taking every chip possible you leave them in a stronger position to counterattack. Unless they have a habit of turning water into wine chances are they will not show you the same mercy you have shown them.



  If somebody comes to the table and needs kindness of friends or strangers to get by, they shouldn't be there. That isn't your problem. You have no friends at the table so don't get bogged down with attachments.
