Chatty Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 As a human being, I know we have something in comments... We understand which are good for our life, but for some reason we can't do it.... Such as, I know I should go to exercise at least 3 days a week, but I can't do it... cuz of my laziness, my time... (there are more excuse I can go on and on) Eating high cal. food is not good for my health, I understand, but they are so yummy, I can't help it. Shouldn't talk when I angry, I understand but I can't control my mouth. I have another examples... I might post it later. How about you guys, I believe you have something to say "I understand but I can't do" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin_2 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I understand that I shouldn't have a completely awesome time when I go out to the bars and get drunk with my friends, but I love completely awesome drunk times too much. (almost a full month without a completely awesome bar night with my friends, and I actually don't miss it all that much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalee Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather what he does not say. True! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 This is actually one of people's biggest flaws in the game of poker. After you understand the game, the odds, etc it becomes a matter of whether or not you can execute your strategy without allowing boredom, your emotions, whether you're hungry or not, etc to alter your course. For instance, and this is a big flaw in most people's games, you don't see a playable hand for several orbits around the table and you pick up some trash like KJo in early position. You know you're not supposed to play that hand out of position but you do because you're bored and these are the two best cards you've seen in 20 hands. You play it, get sucked into chasing a straight or going to the river calling only to be beat by AK, AJ, or KQ and in one hand you have wiped out what might have been your entire profit for the session. I know none of that will make sense to non-poker players but, believe me, it's a good analogy. One of my favorite poker strategy authors, Tommy Angelo, wrote a book just about that. Basically his advice was that if you can't bring your A game, don't play. If you're pissed off about a fight with your wife or you're distracted thinking about closing escrow on a new house don't sit down at a card table. Try to eliminate as much as possible your B and C games and your profits will go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to eliminate as much as possible your B and C games and your profits will go up. After 32 years in the casino industry, and 17 of those years in the poker room, the biggest mistake I constantly saw people make was going into the game thoroughly convinced they were going to loose, and they had budgeted so much money to loose a day. The key word is "loose", instead of giving themselves a chance, and going into the game with money to "gamble" with, not setting themselves up to be happy when they lost. Once you get past the level of the game that you are still thinking about the odds, and position, and how often this hand will win in a given situation, you get to the point of playing your opponent's weakness, you look for situations as Bill has described, and pounce on the opportunity to take that opponents money in that hand, and then listen to him go on tilt, knowing you will get all his money because of that one simple mistake he made. He knew it would happen, yet he will make the same mistake again, and again, and again. You just hope it is you holding the cards to get his money this time. This is true in other aspects of life also. People go into a situation knowing they will fail, and then they are happy when they are right. EB does have the right idea in that he is not setting himself up to be happy when he fails. He will fail, but he won't be happy about it, as so many others set themselves up to be with statements like "yeah, I knew that would happen". They are happy because they knew they would fail, and they were right. They have left themselves no room to be wrong, and succeed.....lololol.
