Sunt aproape de finalul cartii "Ace on the river" a lui Barry Greenstein. Si ma gandeam cat de mult am gresit uneori, discutandu-mi strategia de joc (daca nu cumva e prea mult spus) cu cei pe care i-am invins la un pot. Imi dau seama ca un adevarat pro merge pe calea Action without words is best way to read. Si am sa le impartasesc si acelora dintre voi care nu au avut ocazia de a citi aceasta carte ce parere are Greenstein despre asta:
" Because I often win, I try to keep a low profile so that I am perceived as just another player who suffers the ups and downs that all poker players must endure. Of course, I have had bad streaks and suffered losses, so I understand and can commiserate with players who have been losing. However I don't give them the irrational hope that they can be as successful a gambler as I have been.
If I stay off other players' radar screens, I can fool them more often. I don't want to have my style discussed by other players. If I give the impression that I have been doing well, it only invites borrowing and staking requests, business propositions, or setup by scam artists.
If an opponent criticizes a play I made that worked out well, I don't defend myself. Without being facetious, I might say: Stick around. I'll make worse plays than that one. If someone praises me I remind myself that I have been fortunate. If I brag about how smart I am, how cleverly I played a hand or how well I have been doing, in the back of my mind I say: You deserve to lose for being so cocky. Overconfidence can lead to carelessness in decision-making.
(................................................. .................................................)
Although some players try to talk their opponents into making wrong decisions, most winning players are quiet during each hand and maintain the proverbial poker face. Even after losing a hand, they don't show their disappointment. THEY DON'T LET THEIR OPPONENTS GET INTO THEIR HEADS. "
