When a computer program has flaws and doesn't mean prop-erly, we can those flaws "bugs." Poker players have bugs in their game and the harder they work at fixing their bugs, the cleaner, more efficient, and ultimately more profitable their play becomes. It's easy to fix bugs in computer programs because the standard of measurement is fairly cut-and-dried:
Either the program manes properly or it doesn't. It’s not so easy in poker, where everything is variables, angles, percentages the infamous "it depends" of poker. Plus in software there's no emotional risk: Just because the program is flawed doesn't mean that the programmer is also flawed. Fixing bugs in your poker game requires flexible thinking, a willingness to learn, humility, and a clear-eyed appraisal of your own strengths and weaknesses. Whew! That's quite a lot. On a practical and emotional level, it's quite a lot. It's also quite simple. In fact it's a fact: If you want to improve your play, you have to squash your bugs.
