6. There is no "my bankroll" because there is no self.
7. There is no self.
8. There is no "my image" because there is no self.
9. There is no self.
10. The bankroll displays an image. There is no "my bankroll" or "my image". There is even no "the image of a bankroll" because "the image" is incorrect. The bankroll only displays an image.
11. There is no self. |

18. I have no attachment to "my image" because I don't have one.
19. I have no attachment to "an image" because there is no self.
20. A bankroll has no attachment to an image or vice-versa because neither one owns the other.
21. There is no self. |

| What do you mean by "there is no self"? Does that mean the strength of your hand depends on your opponents cards? For example, TT is great on the button in an unopened pot, but is garbage if the action has been 3 bet to you. |

Pretty much like you're saying. It means there so should be no attachment of the self to the cards or bankroll.
The opposite (bringing the self to the poker table) would be saying things like:
-"I've won with this hand lots before, it's a lucky hand for me."
-"I always get unlucky in these spots."
-"KK never wins for me."
-"This is the biggest bankroll I've ever had, I don't want to move up because it seems like a lot of money to me IRL."
etc. |
