Thanks for the kind words. I'm curious though, any thoughts on my 'theorem'? I just sort of threw it in there... any one care to support or dispute it? [/ QUOTE ] I don't have enough experience to say one way or the other on the theorem, but I finally got around to reading the link and thought it was interesting. |

Re: Inside the mind of a nit (pooh-bah post)
I like your post a lot, and it contains a lot of the things I've been thinking about lately
I'm glad you talked about smiling, as it is something I have not applied to poker but as a psych major I can say it holds a great deal of validity. The idea is that we are constantly evaluating ourselves and constructing our own self concept, so if we know we are smiling we assume its b/c we are happy!! YES, humans really are that simple in certain respects! Physical exercise relates to this as well. It has its own unique benefits, but it will also increase your confidence and make you happier, which will allow you to make better decisions. Being able to see showdowns is very good for hand reading. I like to play omaha or other SNG's when I am tilting and I really want to play. Also, I've noticed since I've been in a serious relationship I feel I need to account for my actions more and this alone has greatly reduced my crying calls. feel good about yourself and you will see yourself as someone who plays well and then you will play well. We are just advanced monkeys, after all |

Re: Inside the mind of a nit (pooh-bah post)
The_Main, Awesome life-relating-to-poker advice. One thing I really appreciate about this game is that, to really succeed, you have to have a lot more than your poker game in check. To play optimally - you have to eat right, have a sleeping schedule that works for you, be emotionally strong, keep yourself healthy mentally, eat smart, etc. I have a list of things I do that (IMO) help my winrate that have nothing to do with actually playing poker. These include things like eating breakfast, exercising in the morning, limiting caffeine, eating well, staying positive, etc. I know I am not the best player I can be right now, but I am thankful that in trying to become that I have improved myself in many ways |

Re: Inside the mind of a nit (pooh-bah post)
In fairness BT is right, this is a PSA post. But, who cares. I thought it was a right ripping read. Thanks Mr Main, or can I call you "the"?

[/ QUOTE ] I never looked up the definition so I could be off with my post, but frankly, I don't care. Call my post whatever you want, it's all generally helpful advice, and was the best way I could think to give back to the community. It outlines that which I feel I do better than most, and something I feel gives me a distinct edge in my games. As I've mentioned, strategy posts are all around, and I think that portion of the game is easier to master than those thing which I have outlined. Take it for what you will. I'm glad some of you were able to enjoy it regardless. |
