<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>what portion of this process do you have internalized?
- Most of the math is done in my head. I’m estimating and mapping it out. I try not to make assumptions early. Good assumptions are based on making good observations and watching the action.
- In Limit poker, or “no foldem holdem” as some say, combinatorics has helped me quickly evaluate my hand to find (good cards, bad cards) on the turn and river. I play a lot of multi-way hands, I see a lot of flops, I need to be aggressive to win, and most importantly, I need to have the best hand on the river when I always get called.
what portion do you use aids to recall in real time?
- In my spare time, I write code and phone apps. When I step away from the table, I occasionally use a custom phone app to double check a hand or look something up.
what portion do you typically abandon for real-time play and instead apply during pre- or post- play study or review sessions?
- At this point, I don’t really calculate pot odds anymore except on paper because I’ve played enough hands to have a decent estimate in real-time.
- After playing a hand, I try to think it through with an analytical lens and try to avoid thinking about how the result was bad.
