lmao got this as i pressed reply - Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you"re sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.
but what the heck, i"ve been doing my usual tanking and looking at old threads on all sorts of forums and i read TP2P"s post and all the replies but i feel there was something missing.We had the betting patterns and tendencies covered pretty much
and the maths of poker came up,nearly everything but getting in the opponent"s head.
The best bit of advice i ever got to expand my poker game was to don"t just put them on a range of hands; try to put them on a way of thinking, estimate the sophistication of a player"s thinking and try to play optimally against them based on that.
If anyone is interested here is a link i used in the past,it is all economics and game theory and explains concepts about understanding and modeling behavior - (1) players with no experience behave the same against competitors with and without experience but (2) players quickly learn to condition their behavior on competitors experience level, causing (3) behavior to stop moving toward the equilibrium whenever new players enter the game and (4) experienced players to earn more money than less experienced players.
I like to think i got the basic fundamentals of poker learnt now but i am more interested in gaining experience by playing and reading forums/blogs so i get a feel of how others view situations etc etc..
anyhows here is the link for those interested -
