If opponent backs off, you show strength

Good advice. You have to observe and adapt. Bruce Lee is always a nice quote! :) "If you put water in a bowl, it becomes the bowl".

True. Other example in poker of flexibility aka "being like water"

Be flexible and adapt to the changing board. Don't be attached (and keep betting) to your initial hand, which might now well be a second best.

This lack of ability to adapt causes us a great deal of money lost.

It does not take a genius to express such quote.

But it takes an expert indeed to be able to read - when opponent shows strenght and when - weakness.
