Mental Musings: Video Interpretations
Posted in Poker | View Comments (2)
 

When i joined this site, i was pumped. I was ready to learn. The one thing that I do (and sometimes still do) is see a video and immediately go try out what i've learned.

The main problem with this is, i play a fraction of the stakes where "boring" ABC poker is going to net me the highest winrate.

The problem?

A video producers style and creativity IS NOT my style or creativity. Just because Aejones does it doesn't mean that if you do it you will be aejones or acquire his confidence and winrate.

It's good to try things link donk betting and experiment with new lines, but if you are doing fine with what you are doing, don't outlevel yourself with trying to become the next aejones by mirroring his moves.

it's not gonna happen that easily. Mimicing will get you nowhere (99% of the time) because you will put yourself in awkward spots where things didn't go down like they did on the newest leggo video. (At least this was and still is sometimes the case after i watch a video)

The purpose and solution:

To get you to think creatively and adjust well and think about the game in a correct manner as you encounter better opponents on your road to robusto.

Keep things in perspective and be open to new ideas but realize that sometimes doing what you've been doing instead of mimicing the plays of successful players is THE best line to take.

Gl in your robusto grind

Don't focus on their lines, focus on WHY they are taking their lines. All lines are applicable to all limits if the thought process behind it is correct.

yeah that's kinda what i was trying to say thanks.

so often i'd just randomly say things to myself that i learned and expect it to work or play a style that wasn't what i found to be right for me.
