Scotty Nichols hesitates a long time before calling. That confirms he has two pair. If Scotty had
three of a kind or better, he would have called without hesitation. Now John is in a strong
fundamental position with his aces-up; he raises to $100. Both Sid and Scotty, having already bet
their hands heavily, feel compelled to call. So they do.... John's aces-up wins the $400 pot.
So with a normally unfavorable hand and position, John controls the betting and wins the pot.
Also because he knows how to control the players, he builds a potential $100 pot into a $400 pot by
tickling Sid's emotions.
John Finn is a good player because he disciplines himself, thinks objectively, and then takes
control of the game. Discipline, thought, and then control--the DTC method--is his technique for
good poker.
Parts Three, Four, and Five of this book show how the good player with the DTC method achieves--
● improved edge odds (increased advantage)
● faster money flow (increased income)
● more players and games (increased future earnings).

judgment, but rather on full rational thought.
