A note on Huck Seed
 

about the way he sits at the table.

As a yoga teacher for 15+ years I can tell you that the way he sits is not only unique in the poker world but the rest of the world as well. Some people spend their entire lives trying to sit like that because it is thought to be the best way to sit and concentrate clearly. We are all born being able to sit like that easily as babies but lose that ability as we encounter stress. I have only known a small handful of people who sit like that and do it for a long time without getting fatigued and they have all been extra-ordinary people. Usually these are people who can handle high levels of stress without breaking down. An awesome tool for a poker player. I would guess that back in his day he would break down his opponents by staying alert longer than they could. I dont know much about the guy but I wouldnt be surprised if he went on some huge tournament/cash game rushes as he adjust to internet players.

this defintely needs its own thread and shouldn't go in the other huck seed thread on the first page.

Re: A note on Huck Seed

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

is it more about his back or his foot placement or something else?

I actually do think he smokes herb. My mom says he sounds like I do when she calls me too early/late. If it's late its cause im baked.

Good question. Its everything, back, feet, neck, hips, legs - it's really his entire body. Basically he stacks his vertabrae(sp?) one on top of each and lets he bones do most of the work. Most people use the muscles in their back when they sit and that is why it becomes uncomfortable to sit for a long time no matter how strong you are. You cant see his feet but I would imagine his shins are close to perpindicular to the ground. I would imagine he is quite relaxed. There is much more to it but I am not actually an expert on it. I'm just seeing similiarities between him and people I consider highly self-aware.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

it always looks like he's sitting up straight but he's like 6'6 or something so it's misleading

It seems really tiring to sit like that
Yogadude can you make some diagrams of what you mean exactly?

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

he smokes crack

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

I sort of agree with Yoga-dude. When I saw Huck playing on Poker After Dark and Poker Superstars it always looked like he was sitting straight up with a stick up his ass.

Being a chronic sloucher I always though it looked rather uncomfortable as opposed to Yoga Dude who thinks Huck is extremely comfortable.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

On the PPT broadcast too.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

Ain't he just super-chilled-out because he just loves that Vaporized chronic?!?!?!?! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

So, when are we going to see the Full Tilt commercial with Huck sitting up straight with a bunch of degens around the table all hunched over and miserable looking. "Learn to sit like the Pros, at Fulltilt poker.net".

This whole thread is uber ghey.

Re: A note on Huck Seed

Seeing him on TV doesn't mean one has noticed or cared about the way he sits.
I sat next to him in a tourney for a few hours and chatted a little bit. I guess I recall that he was really attentive even to hands he wasn't involved in and maybe that he had good posture I suppose but I just wasn't trying to notice anything about how he was sitting.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

the consensus may be that this thread is, as one poster put it, "uber ghey", but i appreciate it. i think it is interesting and wonder how much of it is intentional and how much is just the way he sits.

there is potentially a lot more that a lot of us could do to improve our poker games that has nothing to do with the actual play of a hand. im no expert on the subject but my guess is that if i didnt wake up and stumble directly to the computer and start playing as i desperately try to wipe the sleep out of my eyes so i can read my hole cards, that my results may be better. maybe once i conquer that ill try to mimic the way huck sits or something...

You are REALLY dedicated to this yoga stuff if you are spending your entire life trying to figure out how to sit like that.
You would think that after a few months or years most people might give up hope that you would actually find a way to sit like that. I'm pretty sure I couldn't spend a whole life making such an attempt.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

i didn't read the thread, but i assume he sits up like that because of the weed?

I think he means in the context of meditation.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

I know I'm sitting up straighter as a result of this thread.

Re: A note on Huck Seed
 

I think he has to sit that straight because his head is so big and heavy if it flops to one side, he is hyperslammed to the floor.
