Random fact that might help you: by far most people on 2+2 come out as INTJ's when they take the Meyers-Briggs test. Second are INTPs.

Which is interesting, as ESTJ is probably the ultimate type for poker, in as much as MB types mean anything at all.

How so? I'm not trying to argue as I'm just curious. I am not an expert here, just looking for another point of view.

I am ESTP, close enough?? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sure - J/P, as far as I can tell, is the most nebulous part of MB types.

Here are some poker related ESTP things I notice, whether they are good or bad IDK.
-I read people really quickly while playing, which is great when I'm right but can cost me a lot too.
-After a while, I feel like I stop increasing my reads (like I've "finished" reading someone).
-I get angry after making a bad read, but NOT after making a bad non reading related decision.
Just my $.02

Hi everybody. Apologies about the delay in posting the findings on this but I hope you all find the results interesting.

I measured six personality traits (Achievement striving, self-discipline, courage, calmness, introspection and impulse control) against poker ability (measured by self-reported success - measured in monetary terms).

Achievement striving, self-discipline, courage, introspection and impulse control comprised the model, which demonstrated a significant relationship between the personality variables and amount of money won or lost from poker in the average month. The results show that introspection and impulse control are significant positive predictors for poker ability and that self-discipline is a significant negative predictor.

If anyone has any questions I'll answer what i can - obviously this post is only a brief summary of the results - And if anyone would like more details feel free to PM me.
