Spam and strategic thinking

Some clown finially started spamming the blog, so I've changed the default to moderation if you aren't a member. I'm not even sure what it requires to be a member, some kind of registration I guess. But if you intend to post comments, and I wish you would, go ahead and register.

I'm not going to delete comments that aren't spam. Agreeing with me, or even being nice to me, isn't a requirement for a comment to be approved and stay.

Here's some more comments on strategic thinking

Behavior and Attitude, Thinking and Action
Henry Mintzberg is a well known management theorist who has done a lot of research on strategic areas of business planning. Mintzberg maintains that we think in order to act; but we also act in order to think. This is consistent with the general theory from social psychology that our attitudes are derived from our actions, not the other way around.
During the play of a hand, there’s an information exchange. Our actions often determine the information we receive and this can be more important than having our actions determined by the information we receive. In poker part of strategy development is probing to test out opponent’s reaction. Our deciosns should be jointly determined by their value in explotation of information we have, and the value of gathering more information. It’s a constant balancing act..
Part of the purpose of your actions is to gather information so that you can focus future action more tightly on directly achieving your objecftives. Strategic behavior isn’t totally proactive, we do react to our opponents, but we do so in a planned way, we anticipate his actions and plan our reactions
