A note on Huck Seed

about the way he sits at the table.

As a yoga teacher for 15+ years I can tell you that the way he sits is not only unique in the poker world but the rest of the world as well. Some people spend their entire lives trying to sit like that because it is thought to be the best way to sit and concentrate clearly. We are all born being able to sit like that easily as babies but lose that ability as we encounter stress. I have only known a small handful of people who sit like that and do it for a long time without getting fatigued and they have all been extra-ordinary people. Usually these are people who can handle high levels of stress without breaking down. An awesome tool for a poker player. I would guess that back in his day he would break down his opponents by staying alert longer than they could. I dont know much about the guy but I wouldnt be surprised if he went on some huge tournament/cash game rushes as he adjust to internet players.



fwiw

good observation yogadude. good posture, good breathing, eating healthy, and excercise all help to maximize your brainpower.

More brainpower = more money at poker

I laugh at some of these clueless people on this forum.

this thread has been way better than another 'soandso is HU VS soandso!'

Yoga was created by men it's it seems in the US women took it over and made it theirs and put their own twist on it and kicked the men out
I've never practiced it but if it would increase your wellbeing there's no reason to

Oh man, it somewhat scares me how I've been sitting. Thanks for the link.

I'm going to start smoking weed right away.

yogadude, what is your opinion on expensive and comfortable office chairs? In the link, the demonstration is with a simple squarish chair.

The only person who I've seen sit as "ramrod straight" as Huck was a chick who had scolio or something like that when she was a kid and had hardware put in her back, she actually has a rod running up her back. FWIW she smokes alot of weed too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
