orville 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I recently started reading some old Card Player articles by Mike Caro. What is everyone's opinion of what he has to say. Do his theories on poker hold water or is he full of it.ThanksOrville Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It depends what theory you're talking about. In general he is well respected, especially for his writings on tells.For future references, questions generally end in question marks. Hence the name question mark. Sorry, I just can't help myself.

Filesharer 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah, he has an interesting viewpoint. I always think it's valuable to listen to knowledgeable people who teach different things than Sklansky, seeing as what he teaches is 0.2% of what you need to know in poker.

brian67 0 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Caro may have done more research on various aspects of poker than anyone else. His book on tells is the best poker book i've ever read, and i have read just about every real book out there. Caro knows what he's talking about. He's possibly still the best draw poker player in the world, and his reading ability still puts him among the best in other forms of poker as well. It's just a shame that he doesn't go for proportional payout tourneys or else you would see a lot more of him on television. Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 From reading some of Caro's stuff, including his stuff in Super System I, he seems to be all about the psychological aspect of poker, such as making people think he is insane and getting inside people's heads so they will think he is a maniac and give him action. I know he has alot of other theories about the actual game itself, but alot of his advice and technique is simply off the wall...it works for him though Link to post Share on other sites
posoo 0 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Regardless of whether he knows his stuff or not, his online video library of tells makes for some good viewing. Google "Mike Caro Poker University" to be taken there, and watch dozens of clips of poor fools being abused by Caro's keen grasp of tells.Blessings,Posoo Link to post Share on other sites
