Default Re: Why can no one write a truly advanced poker book ?

take commitment = willing to get all in. how many players actually ask, on every street, "Am I committed?" or better "Under what conditions will I commit here?" there is no more important question, but how many people ACTUALLY think about that at the start of every betting round? if you want to be a strong MSNL player you should hardwire that question into your game.

Angel Largay writes about a similar way of thinking. It's not as fleshed out as yours is in terms of analysis, but he says for every hand you're in, you should be asking who's more likely to go broke with this hand - me or my opponent? That question can guide you to play the hand.

I never really got that. Say you get dealt QQ and the pot is raised before and your reraise and get one caller. The flop comes Js8d2d. You get 3/4 of the pot (not a small bet since it's a raised pot. He calls. Do you bet the turn? How does "who's going broke" help me here? How do I know who's going broke? He could be calling with AJ, he might be calling a draw? He might have made a set? I don't get how that questions helps.
