Poker moves with your mind, it is a mental sport and your mind tests it every moment, from the first hand of a tournament to getting up from the eliminated chair. Your mind makes you see opportunities where it does not exist, causes you to do wrong things thinking it is right, so stay tuned.

I don't know what you're talking about. But my mind is aligned with my actions and don't growl.

Now you're focused on your desk, making the best possible decisions, when you take that bad beat.
Automatically, your brain turns the key to stress, emotions appear and the rational side is set aside. Consequently, rash decisions tend to be taken and chaos is installed. Falling into a natural trap can cost a lot

I agree, every decision made was made by your mind no matter good or bad. Sometimes you see false opportunity that can bust you early because you don't know that you're not thinking straight

Why so grumpy BlackMamba a good point is made here you have to be well fed well rested
and in the zone no matter what the game gives you tilt and bad play very common due to not having right head for the game or being in the zone as I call it well in the high stakes anyway
Growling emmm was carrying my baby in arms while walking my dog on lead the other day and a big pitbull came out of its house in guard mode snarling growling at us I had to growl back at him then phew he walked back in me inching away slowly lol:cool:

The player must have basic knowledge of the odds. Then you can more easily know if you can bet or not. Do not make decisions based solely on emotions.

there are many aspect of the mindset which must be taken into consideration, like focusing on taking good decisions long term and not focusing on winning a hand short term when we don't have favorable odds

Poker is a game of thought. You play with your mind, and if your mind does not do well, profits may not be at the level you want.

I agree with you. Poker is a thought game just like chess.

Definitely poker is a game of great mental concentration, before playing you should have a few minutes to meditate and have your mind calm.

I like to listen to soft music during the game, that helps me a lot.

Ouch I see you got banned BlackMamba...

lol I've seen a BlackMamba live... It scared the sh*t out of me...
really! then some years later i discovered another Type in my girlfriend's undies draw, now that one wasn't as scary...


Black Mamba if you return to CardsChat i do hope you would become more interested in Contributing instead of Beehatching and Trampling over everyone's threads the way you had...

Yes Your Mind Can be and Is your worst enemy at times, but it is something that can be trained just like learning to drive a car and not smashing other vehicles when you feel a little road rage on occasion lol its true...

How many smashes and crashes do we see each day? yet there are more car drivers in the world than poker players for sure....

Poker requires the same thought, observation and consideration given to it as driving a car, So lets not get into a rage, Crashing in Poker only hurts our selves, our Bankrolls and our Pride...

Poker Rage / Road Rage, Same Thing, Same Mind just different Seat and Different control System...

My conclusion is following: If I don't care about the tournament I am playing (small prizes, big field..) I tend to olay it badly due to excessive all in-ing. If I care about a tournament too much (huge buy in for my standards, huge awards..) I tend to olay more tight and only end up on the edge of the cash places or on the cash place but a low one. Therefore the best results are in the middle, with medium stakes so I don't just shove everything but don't play too tight as well. It's all in your mind.

It probably distinguishes the amateur from the professional. However, professionals can also make crazy things in the game. Most poker is a struggle between reason and greed which is absolutely all people. On the first side of the balance the mind, and in the second the desire to win, increase your stack, or simply to get in the bonus area spending a minimum number of resources.

when I make too much mistake in my game. I watch strategic videos to rectify my mistakes. it also helps to keep your feet on the ground and not to do anything. in poker it is better to be disciplined and disciplined than to listen to your ego.

I always say, in poker the greatest thing is peaceful mind. Never play when you're sad or mad. Never play when you're angry at someone. Stable emotions is the most important part in good decision making.

Think long think wrong! when I am in my element I can read my gut feeling correctly and don't have to think about what I my action will be.. being aware of stack sizes, players style, positions considered.
