I always remember my Sensei fondly, even though it's been many years since I last heard from him. His teachings not only improved my game but also gave me a philosophy of the game. In the beginning, I always tried to test myself by playing against the toughest pairs to show my level. My Sensei told me a simple phrase: "If you want to make money, avoid the top players and go for the smaller ones; they're easier to beat!" And how right he was.
