Do you ever obtain that itch? The itch to gamble, to head to the closest gambling establishment, to discover a great stakes game of Hold em, to sit at a Twenty-one table for hours on end. I love that itch. And I like to scratch it.

I also like to watch folks wager. No 2 poker faces seem alike. When I wager I like to assume I put on a poker face that’s impassable. But I know I have particular gestures. For one, the only time I smoke is when I play poker or Twenty-one. And then I smoke. But I chain smoke no matter if I am winning or losing, no matter whether I’ve a beneficial hand or bad.

I once wagered in a weekly poker game. The casino game was usually five card draw. There was a person who wagered with us just about every week who always wore a hat. When he was dealt a very good hand, unconsciously, he would begin touching and wagering with his hat. Needless to say, he in no way won.

The very best poker gambler I ever saw was a player who made a lot more actions and gestures at a poker table than anybody I had ever met. He was impeccable in the way he dressed. Usually an pricey suit and tie, shoes shined and nails trimmed. He was fastidious in this manner. And he was usually brushing his pant leg or rubbings his hands or putting his chips in tidy little piles.

I use to analyze him for hours. I’d attempt to see if I could notice his tell. Picking fuzz off his shirt- did this mean he was bluffing? Stacking his chips within a short pile – did this imply he had a beneficial hand?

Several years later I bumped into him in the bar in Chi town and we had a beverage. I asked him if he were aware of all those activities he manufactured or if they had been subconscious. He told me that every single thing he did at a poker table was deliberate. He said that everybody is often checking out everybody else’s poker face. They’re trying to detect the the tell.

So his program was to give them lots to assume about. His thinking was if they have been thinking about him selecting a piece of lint off his jacket and what it meant they positive weren’t pondering about their cards.

His system was distraction. And it worked for him. By no means give up a method that operates for you.
