Poker Psychology

[DiegoRamos]

I agree with you, a few days ago a player started insulting only because he had lost a lot of money because he got a bad letter to the river and he lost it, something that was expected for me, but he took it as a scam and became aggressive

This is very common.
I play only Micro and some low at the moment.
But from what I have studied, I see that the tilt players who lose the most are the high stakes who play HU.
The regulars study the deep psychology, and take maximum advantage of the players in Downswing.

Yes, psychology in poker plays a lot. But in online poker, it's hard to "read" your opponent. In the casino table game you can feel it if it does a joke or not.

I understand what you mean, online you analyze patterns only. No longer live you have the body analysis.
They are worlds both near and far at the same time.

Psychology plays more of a roll in live games. When playing online you should not rely too heavily on a psychological profile of your opponent (although you shouldn't disregard it all together).

you can not become a good player if you can not control your emotions, I think this is an important part of even the technical skills

A good book on the subject is Alan Schoonmaker "Psychology of poker". The book is good because it will teach you to clearly identify the types of your opponents in the game and teach you to understand why a player makes various actions throughout the game.

Agreed with you. I had that problem playing live. Sometimes you loose a Key pot for a very bad beat and you tilt for a while. Phycological and emotional control is very important for sure.
See you the tables.

I totally agree that any good poker player should pay attention to the Mental side and the psycological aspects of poker games either playing Online or Live. Some comments are saying that Poker Psycology is only good for Live poker which is not correct,a successfull poker player should build strong psycological Patterns based on his Self Management,Professional attitude,Motivation,Decision making, Tilt management....

Poker psycology is not made for live poker only Online players also should search and read about Poker Psycology.

Many actually believe that. But when you study the basic, you see that the scenery changes.

I think it's the main one. You can not stay on top without stabilizing your mind.

Exactly my friend.
I believe that having strong Mindset is one of the keys to victory.

Really keep the psychological in good condition at the time of playing, I say this from experience when the game and take malice for example, please, with AA or KK and villain with letter low type 33 and the flop comes a exchange him and when that happens I get nervous and my game is over.

 

[Mr.$t0k]

I think that the psychological stable state is very important, it is somewhere between 60-75 percent of the success and this is very much, therefore it is necessary to develop and strengthen its psychological health

For these moments you need to have a balanced mind.
Understanding why you lost is very important.
Then it is to study more about self control, because understanding that bad beat is of the game, this would not influence more in the other tournaments.

very good your observation, I have seen that my mistake really affect psychologically in the sequence of the results. in ICM trainings I see that when I make a mistake, I immediately get a sequence of mistakes, this psychological failure leads to tilt, I'm trying to soften this psychological fault

 

[deeggr]

Phycological online you need less. More math and strategy. On live table phycological becames more important. You can read some people, try to find their teels and get advantage on it.

 

[sekcapilniqt]

it's very much your psyche how do you think it is calm to be excited and you sit down to play

 

[sanekhorror]

Psychology in poker, I think this is an important point, because much depends on how you behave in this or that situation, and how you will study opponents, you need to be as balanced as possible, try to contain your emotions.

 

[Nick301274]

in poker you need to play a little relaxed, for example, after drinking 100-200 grams of vodka, that's all the psychology, after drinking 100-200 grams of vodka I play better, once having a couple cents, I won $ 12 for 6 hours

Glad to have helped in some way.

It's a big mistake to find that.

Exactly, just as you study strategics, you must study your mind.

This is illusory. Drinking will have your reasoning shaken, then directly hurt your decisions.

Plain and simple you have to come to the realization more bad beats will come online. At a single table you see about 1.5-2x's the hand in an hour. Than online poker opens it up to more people as well. So more bad players and more hands an hour.

If you can accept that the psychology is easier to grasp. You also have to look at your game to see if you allowed a player to make a call and you get sucked out on. There is no real reason to slow play hands online.
