Rule 16: Poker is a tango.

Poker is a tango. The good player pushes right up as the other backpedals, and he does so perfectly as the other moves forward or backward. Perfectly done, there is no light in between, no space. This is the mark of the great players – there is no space in between. They are pushed and push absolutely as far as they can go forward in each instance, each case. This is probably true at the top level of all sports and games.
