hi all,
just wanted to introduce myself and share my playing style. maybe talk to others about it because my style is different and i dont see much online about it.
i call my playing style "zen like"
i inly been playing a month. ive done well. im ranked in the top 18% on replaypoker.com
i studied black jack for a long time. i even studied card counting untill i realised its ineffective in casinos in the northeast. but what i learned in black jack has been KEY in playing poker.
i read in a black jack book by avery cardoza years ago, that what is one of the most inportant things to black jack is totally diconnect your emotions from the money you are playing with. if u r uncomfortable at all with the money youvare betting walk away. worry is a distraction. also limit your playing sessions intervals and take breaks. keep your mind clear. once u feel like uve "melted into the game" walk away. never let feelings inter fere with play. play the cards the way they are supposed to be played according to the odds "basic stradegy". never deviate.
so playing black jack i just focused on my cards and the dealers not other players. ive adapted this stradegy to texas holdem too.
i dont bluff. i dont even think about other people bluffing. i dont think to much about other people rasing.
i just play my cards the way i see them. i never bet heavy pre flop. 2 cards alone are only worth so much. anything can happen on the flop turn and river.
when people raise i just look at what i have for cards and what can beat me. and calculate the odds of improving my hand accordingly. i never even think about if the person is bluffing. i just decide if im in a good position and either play or fold with no emotion.
i fold a lot of hands. 76% on replaypoker.com folding is cheap. im patient. i dont hold out for long shots inless everyone checks. BUT the silver bullet isidentifying when you habe the table beat 100% or pretty close. my key technique is analyzing and seeing where my hand stands. seeing what hands can beat me and the odds of someone having it. then i bet heavy with confidence. not much guess work.
so thats why i say zen like playing. no emotion, not paying much attention to pther players, and analyzing just the cards, no bluffs, no heavy betting without confidence. i focus on the bet that comes to me vs the value of my hand. im quick to fold junk and long shots. patiently waiting for the right moment and maximizing the moment.
i d like to talk to other players with similar concepts. i also have some statistic questions that i cant fond answers to. but ill wait for feed back first. i welcome any and all opinions.
thank u for reading
