Re: Is Memory the thing that distinguishes the REALLY good players?
I agree on memory being very important in stud. Many players don't seem to pay it much mind, but it can make all the difference.
Memory and alertness are related, and so are memory and understanding, and memory and creativity. Memory is a foundation and intimate part of much higher level thinking. So working on your memory means you're not only giving yourself the opportunity to think better; you're very likely flat out thinking better in the first place.
Good memory is a key skill in a lot of life. Get a good memory because you're interested in playing poker better, and you could well find yourself doing a lot of things in your life at least a little bit better, maybe a lot.
