I define chaos as any sequence thats unplayable for your particular system or method. Its the great leveler, its what makes your pile of chips disappear is short order. Its what has to be recognized and dealt with if any kind of long term winning is to be expected from a good system or method. Identifying and successfully playing thru chaos takes tons of practice, and almost nobody talks about it. Its the bad guy thats always waiting in the bushes to ambush your method of play and way more attention has to be payed to it.
