At the cash game table,
Sir Robin wins more than he loses - and that is ultimately what matters most.
The desperate players panic and send all their $ into the middle with the losing hand.
One must remember that the purpose of cash games is to make money with mathematically favourable odds - just as in warfare the objective is to destroy the opposing force with minimal loss to self. Such is the doctrine of the professionals (aka Nimitz). --> those who play for action and excitement follow the doctrine of the fish - playing unfavourable odds - and lose (aka Yamamoto).
Excitability is the primary flaw of any commander (case in point Goering in 1940 sending Luftwaffe against london) Causing the enemy to react to oneself is a measure of competence (case in point RAF commanders 1940 destroying luftwaffe planes in mathematically favourable ratios)
Effectively such is the primary psychological difference between the Allies and Axis - with the latter emphasizing shock tactics to compensate for serious strategic defficiencies.
The type A personality of the Axis is ever self-consuming as evidenced by history.
For the same reasons why the axis shall never win a war is the same reason why a fish can never generate a profit. Devoid of logic and reason, and the discipline to fold losing hands, all temporary gains will be lost and the final outcome shall be total irremediable defeat.
The IJN would have been far better for not having started the pacific war (mainland china was in civil war, waiting 10 years and picking up the pieces would have been strategically correct). It was not possible however, as the barbarians sought an adventure *officially called the China Adventure* and unleashed a grotesque orgy of destruction, an orgy that lasted until the morning of August, 1945 and ended in the only conceivable manner (see pic below) Such is the fate of all gamblers. If one is destined to lose at the cash table, it is best not to place your money in the first place.
The Sir Robins at CinPac, after building an armada of cheap 25,000 Ton Essex Carriers
whilst the barbarians at the IJN argued and wasted time building 75,000 ton Shinano carriers, emerged with a profit. The last years of the war simply saw the US carrier fleet curshing all in its path with impunity.
The end result is always the same. Sir Robin laughs last, but laughs loudest.
