Re: why the disparity between knowledge and results?
They apply the concepts at the wrong time / play too loose preflop.
Playing winning poker is boring. |

Playing winning poker is boring. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I second that. I have been playing a lot of SNGs lately and people play great for the first say 2 levels then something bad happens they let there emotions get involved and next thing you know they are calling to the river with only top pair. Knowing what to do is one thing. Having the discipline to do it is another. |

Re: why the disparity between knowledge and results?
you think it is mostly discipline versus the hard to explain intangibles ? Like "know your player" and 'it's all situational"?

But for online i'd have to agree, I counter by multi tabling. But then again i suck, so take my advice with reservations. |

[/ QUOTE ] Hahaha...While I was playing the middle stages of a PokerStars $3 MTT yesterday, some dunce took a bit of a bad beat right after being moved to my table but still had a reasonable stack. For the next few hands, he played like a complete donkey and ended up -- while still having a reasonably middling stack -- calling AA's raise with K7o and pushing against flopped quad aces on the turn. |
