Re: Coping with ADD
[ QUOTE ]
Your theory about ADD helping poker makes no sense at all to me. Hyperfocus? Doesn't ADD result in a lack of ability to focus? I think this is one of the biggest problems I see in bad players. They sit down and start out fine, but don't focus or concentrate and start making mistakes. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

ADD is more of a lack of control of focus, rather than lack of focus itself. When something is stimulating enough to someone with ADD, they will often go into "hyper focus" mode. This is why people with ADD often fail miserably in some categories, while exceeding tremendously in others.
