"To be wrong is unfortunate; not to make a decision is unforgivable"" I can't wait around until things are 100% certain - they never will be. I have to make my decisions in the 'fog of war.' " 

"How is patience translated into poker terms? For the most part, the answer can be summed up into a single word: folding. And this makes poker- at least a great deal of the time – a game of withdrawing, not thrusting, attacking game that is may appear to the casual observer. Its long-term essence as an activity has certain parallels to a Zen state, therefore – a pulling back, a stillness, a non-activity. And while it is true that this pulling back always contains within it a nugget of aggression, an explosive core ever waiting to attack, a vast majority of the time it is of a more stationary nature. Until the player can make peace with this state emotionally, he cannot master poker."
