Re: How Do Non-Rational Players Succeed in Poker?
I definitely file myself under the mathematical/logical heading as a player... but I also think the best hands i've ever played (at least in my opinion) generally happen without me thinking long and hard objectively about the action. I just feel that a particular action is very, very good in a certain spot, and I squeeze the trigger in a big spot. Usually, it works, and its awesome.
Later on I can go back over the hand and analyze it more thoroughly, and the math or objective analysis is generally there to back me up.
But I think the ability to make these subconscious comes from tens of thousands of hands of varied situations which I've experienced and internalized. I don't think theres any way to specifically teach that ability, but if there was it would be very valuable.
