Re: What is the Best Book For Advanced Players on Hold Em\' For Cash Games
There's another aspect to the argument that it's about people, not math, at the higher levels. I've heard PGA Tour players say "At this level, it's 90% mental". Well that's extremely misleading. Actually, at that level, it's 90% technique, which they take for granted. It's another way of saying, if you have 95% of the technique downpat, then the rest is the mental game." That's true. The hard part is getting 95% of the technique downpat, so "at this level" is a tautology. The game is 90% technique, so you darn well better have it.
The analogy ain't perfect, because there's more of a meta game going on with higher stakes poker than there is in golf. But you catch my drift.
