re: Poker & What is your biggest weakness as a poker player?
My biggest weakness is sometimes forgetting that there are strong players everywhere. I'm not saying that I think I play good and everybody else plays bad. But there are large number of players out there who count on luck. Their strategy seems to be to play bad and get lucky. Then there are players that don't play that bad. And there are some that don't play bad at all. But I often forget that there are really good players out there, the kind that know how to switch things up and shift gears, who know how to set traps.
Every once in a while I encounter one of these players. After the cards get turned over and surprise of how good a hand I was up against has had a moment fade, I realize that I should have seen it. But I get used to players shoving any Ace from A-10 up, and coin flipping with any pocket pair that I forget that there are legitimately good players out there that know how to slow play hands, set traps, and even play a hand so it looks like an obvious bluff when they actually have the nutz.
