btlee 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Just remember in order to act out phil's "advanced" and "expert" play you must be playing players of similar levels. This thought process will fall apart if not.One of my worst streaks ever was due to giving my oponents too much credit. Link to post Share on other sites

Alot of times thinking too many levels deep against a weak player will cause you to bluff off your chips, because you outthought yourself instead of your opponent, and completely forgot your up against a calling station.

This thought process will fall apart if not.One of my worst streaks ever was due to giving my oponents too much credit.Phil seems to allude to this as well. "Depending on the situation, you'll hear me thinking on different levels. Against the Internet rookie Butch Dude, I'm thinking two levels deep. Against the 2001 WSOP Champion Chris Ferguson, I'm thinking four levels deep."Good read. Thanks Ocho11 Link to post Share on other sites
