Commentary
The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.
Go against your opponents on your terms; do not acquiesce to your opponents' terms. This is to say, pull your opponents into your trap, do not be pulled into theirs.
To accomplish this, you must always be mindful and alert; every single action at the poker table has intent behind it: it is your job to figure out what that intent is! A slowplay may be designed to pull you in, a large bet may be designed to scare you away. Even if a player is just going through the motions (i.e. his or her head is not in the game) there is still rhyme and reason behind each call, bet, and fold. Find out how their minds work and use that information to your advantage.
