Asperger’s and Poker
@ PoopLoop,
Hi, I also have Asperger’s and I personally feel that it gives us a slight advantage. We look at things very differently, I can visually see statistical odds of playing certain hands given the number of players at the table prior to the flop and after the flop. After I get a feel for how each player reacts on certain stress situations and how they tend to bet or over bet or over play under play their hands I create a risk profile of each player and can pretty easily memorize every tell that they do after only sitting at a table for 20 minutes. I don’t play professionally, but have done pretty well for myself doing it on the side. I was an accountant for almost 8 years before moving into Fintech (automation and advanced analytics) for the telecom industry so I work with numbers all day and play poker and chess in the evenings for fun. And yes I can solve the 3x3 Rubik’s cube in under a minute,
The 4x4 in under 5 minutes, the 5x5 in under 8 Minutes, and 6x6 currently pending)
