Necessities

You can never overlook the necessities of life. Well you can, but if you do, you're probably going to miss out on the rest of things that life has to offer. If you don't eat, don't drink, don't find shelter, and don't breathe, you're not going to last for long, especially if you live somewhere particularly cold or wet. Poker obviously isn't one of the necessities of life, but just like in the rest of life, if you ignore the necessities of poker, you're not going to play it for long.
