Distracting Players
Do you ever acquire that itch? The itch to gamble, to head to the closest gambling den, to locate a great stakes game of Texas hold em, to sit at a Blackjack table for hours on end. I really like that itch. And I really like to scratch it.
I also like to watch people wager. No two poker faces seem identical. When I gamble I like to believe I put on a poker face which is impenetrable. But I know I’ve particular gestures. For 1, the only time I smoke is when I bet on poker or Blackjack. And then I smoke. Except I smoke whether or not I am winning or losing, no matter if I have a very good hand or bad.
I once bet inside a weekly poker game. The game was generally five card draw. There was a player who bet with us just about every week who constantly wore a hat. When he was given a excellent hand, subconsciously, he would begin touching and playing with his hat. Pointless to say, he by no means won.
The greatest poker gambler I ever saw was a guy who created additional movements and gestures at a poker table than anyone I had ever seen. He was flawless in the way he dressed. Often an high priced suit and tie, boots shined and nails trimmed. He was meticulous in this manner. And he was usually brushing his pants or rubbings his hands or stacking his chips in tidy little piles.
I use to examine him for hours. I would attempt to see if I could notice his tell. Picking lint off his vest- did this imply he was bluffing? Stacking his chips in a short pile – did this imply he had a good hand?
Several years later I bumped into him inside a bar in Chi town and we had a beer. I asked him if he were aware of all those activities he created or if they had been unconscious. He told me that each and every single thing he did at a poker table was intentional. He said that everybody is always checking out everybody else’s poker face. They’re trying to notice the the tell.
So his system was to give them lots to believe about. His reasoning was if they were thinking about him choosing a piece of fuzz off his jacket and what it meant they certain were not pondering about their cards.
His program was distraction. And it worked for him. In no way give up a method that functions for you.
