Lee Davy writes a short and sweet opinion piece on the role that competition plays in poker after watching a refreshing Poker Brief from 888Poker.

Competition is a good thing. I know that. It’s been drummed into my head since I was a kid. Another truism from the ages is that the competitors are not a good thing. You have to beat the competition at all costs. The taking part is fun brigade are a bunch of nancies.

I don’t think like that anymore.

Today, I believe that in almost every situation, competition is a good thing and that means your competitors glow in that same goodness.
