As teenagers, most of us would have gladly traded our oily, acne-prone complexions for a good case of dry skin.

Now that we're older, we know that dry skin isn't all it's cracked up to be. It looks great on lizards, but most humans find parched, flaky skin unattractive and even uncomfortable.

Poker gurus like to talk about the different levels of thinking in the game. Level one — the level that is occupied by fish, donkeys, and turkeys — is essentially: What cards do I have? Level two, where better players live, is where you start thinking: What cards does my opponent have? Level three, where it starts to get advanced, is a place of: What does my opponent think I have? Level four: What does my opponent think I think he has? And so on. Theoretically the levels can keep going on forever, as the psychological game-playing gets deeper and deeper. But for all practical purposes, most players never get beyond levels four or five.
