quiz: what's the no 1 attribute of a great player


Recommended Posts

And what I mean here, is besides mental things, I mean superfically...And I think it is being a Super hot girl...My friend has a girl friend, who just started playing poker.. she's tight weak ( which is really a great start) and generally a very average player.. But she is Super, super, super super hot... she's a Hawaiian tropic model and a stripper...And I see the craziest things happen to her when she's in hands... Some guys are trying to get in good with her, and will check down with her with better hands than hers, or not raise her with the nuts when she bets to "be nice", because they are trying to get in with her.... Other guys, who I think have woman issues, try to run over her.. they raise, and re raise, tryin' to bluff her, trying to get her out of pots. .and while sometimes she stays in too long in hads, because she plays so tight and only enters with really good hands, they are giving her WAY too much action with their inferior one pair hands.. if she raises you, there's no WAY you should re raise with out the nuts, yet these macho guys are always trying to push her around, and bluff her... to their miseryand then there's women.. other woman HATE her.. I mean HATE HATE HATE .... there's some woman competition thing that I don't really get, but women won't lay down hands against her, are always trying to suck out on her, some woman who NEVER raise will raise when she's in pots, to try and push her around, to their dismay.. I've never seen anything like itIf there was one thing I could change about My game, that I simply cannot, is that I'd transport my brain into Jessica Alba's body, and reign the poker world.I guess I'll have to stick to wearing Hawaiian shirts with ties, shorts and boots, Krab dances, and what ever smoke and mirrors I can come up with, 'cause one thing I'll never be is a hot girl...

yes sir i have thought the same, one of my good poker friends makes him self a chick at all the sites with avatars so he can get that kind of action and it seems to work out for him well as long as he plays the role a little bit.

( that is, the friend with the hot girl friend, who's brother started the Krab Dance) of dressing up as a flaming, obnoxious homosexual, because he thinks that will really **** with all the macho young guys, the bitter old men, and in general those who ball up their sexual repression with gay hate... he thinks he's gonna get really great action, and I'm bound to think he's right.. when ever I'm online, and someone calls me "gay" or what ever, I just pile on, playing into their homophobia, and sending them on tilt..

I usually use a guy avatar (I'm a chick by the way), only because I couldn't possibly fill out the women avatars in real life (I never thought cartoon characters would have breast implants but they must.. anyways)I have a guys call me gay or a phag etc, and I just say to them "I'm a homosexual trapped in a woman's body" (since I'm a woman this makes me straight)Anyways, just wanted to share..JackTheCat :club: IT'S ALL GOOD!

Dude, did you even read the post?this isn't a Sklansky Quiz, buddy.. of course +Ev is the attribute of a great player, I wasn't talking about that.. I was talking about the type of thing that you can't have an effect over, something above and beyond the way you play the cards...

NO FEAR!  haha this is one of the stupidest threads i've ever seen.
comments like that really bring the level of discourse up in a thread!! what this post is about is in general a topic I have much interest in.. I've read all ( and I mean all the books) studied odds, and ect.. and now I'm interested in the more.. esoteric parts of the game.. how to get into your opponents heads, how to effect their behavior against you, not just playing ABC.. i'm trying to Move beyond what Sklansky taught me.. but if you want to hate, hate away..

im with you bigD. the psychology of the game is what really interests me. Thats what the Krablar was originally all about, but i don't think most people understood that.

I dont know dude. In this day and age, there's always surgery. Start saving now. Think of it as an investment towards the 2007 WSOP.

I'd say the most important thing is discipline. Discipline keeps you from tilting, and discipline keeps you in good standing with bankroll management. The lack of either of those things can wipe out even world class players.Shana Hiatt got started as a Hawaiian Tropic model too. Coincidence? I think not.

I think a very important attribute to have is the ability to detect sarcasm...
