Join me in my drug-inspired, inordinately belated poker epiphanies.

i think you underestimate how formidable your "autopilot" mode is. if you are 12tablin and winning at stars 3-6 then its pretty freakin good. i would imagine you are doing plenty of "re-rationalizing"

I think you missed the point of the post tbh

absolutely not. i did express my thoughts somewhat incorrect tho. i dont think its possible to beat those stars games with no table selection without playing non thinking poker. op thinks whether he knows or not.

good post man. i already think a lot about this sort of thing but a lot of people don't, and they should.

like there's such a huge difference between watching yourself play and actually investing your mind into the game and playing every hand as if it's the first time you've ever played it

Yeah its amazing how much better you play when have to explain every decision you make. Also note taking helps you adjust and learn really fast. I know some people might say "wtf duh, I learned that on day 1", well yeah screw you.

Want to know the secret? Always be one step ahead. Thats all there is to it. The best players (or at least, better than you) are simply the ones who know what you're going to do before you do it, and play accordingly. They set traps for you to fall into, and they avoid the ones that you're trying to set. And if you don't do what they think you're going to, well, they've got a solid backup plan for that too (and you better believe that they are taking note of it for future reference).

So if you're not actively working hard to get inside the mind of each and every player you face (or at least to analyze the general styles that most of them play) you will fall behind, and if you manage to win at a level anyhow it is because there are so many god damn imbeciles there who are more than happy to gradually (or rapidly) spew away their hard-earned money to the real players because they think they're having a good time, or something.

This is an amazing post! Worth reading multiple times. It's worth repeating the cliff notes one more time.

<font color="blue">
ok here are cliffnotes:

there are only three moves in poker. calling, betting, and folding

how can somebody who's only allowed to call, bet, or fold, be making so much more money than you??

it's only call, bet, or fold, but his decisions are making him so much more money than mine!

[censored], i gotta start call, betting, or folding better!
