The game against equal opponents. Ways to get advantage.

Poker – a game for money. And where they come from a plus player and why the shift from negative – this is indeed the case – one of the fundamental issues, without understanding the answer to which is not conceivable career success poker player. But if the money away from the player’s negative, then why did they come to a plus player in the larger quantities of less than plus?

The rules are identical for all players and therefore the issue, so one can get game advantage over the other, plays a central role in this theory.

That would be fairly trivial statement, if not a «but». The point is that poker is perhaps much more than any other existing intellectual games, characterized by variation methods for obtaining benefits. This is due primarily to the fact that poker combines not only the properties of games with incomplete information, but also a game in which all actions are made solely by the rates.

The range of methods for obtaining the benefits of poker in so wide that it is constantly evolving game theory, and developing very rapidly. Strategic approaches that have recently created a significant positive winrate or ROI, are near or unprofitable.

To a large extent, this contributes to the rapid and wide dissemination of theoretical poker information – in the form of books, articles, discussion forums. This is logical, just as the attendant and approval «If all played the same way, then who would have won?».

One influential players, writing on the topic of poker once wrote in his book for the novice players a phrase along the following lines: «Join the sweat from such a starting hand. This is enough to win ».

Can be plus player who plays in the so-called ABC poker, the poker is purely on the map? Of course, maybe, but with some «averaged» conditions, and in the company of strong players, he quickly turned into a negative, as would be for them on the one hand is almost completely read, and on the other – very much controlled.

Can be plus player, by contrast, plays far too diverse and «figure»? Of course, maybe, but all in the same «averaged» conditions. In the company of bad players, it also turned into a negative, because they are simply unable to adequately absorb his game «message». Consequently, the «message», not only will not achieve their set goals, but in some cases lead to the effect diametrically opposite to the intended.

Therefore, ABC poker an advantage only in the small limit, where the vast majority of the opponents played not for profit and pleasure, and do not know not only the subtleties of certain games, but even its foundations. The higher limit, the more ABC poker begins «pass». Moreover, the more developed a poker game, the lower becomes the limit at which the «ABC» starts to falter.

Return to a situation with a thin, psihological game. It is good all the more so the higher the limit at which it is applied, and the small limits virtually does not apply. And trends in the development of poker eloquently show that the bottom plank ceilings where «court» game over time, becoming lower.

Therefore, if the main task of novice players is, above all, in mastering the basic principles of a successful game, the player knows and care about the problems already experienced quite a different order. After all, it is generally the case with equal force to his opponents, that is not inferior to him owning these basic principles.

He has to deal with the task of reaping the benefits at the expense of more serious, and most importantly – a variety of tools, which means a constant search for more and more ways to gain advantage, mainly because the game patterns associated with the drawing of a hand, are characteristic of ABC-poker at the expense of psychological nature.

How can we better read the hand the opponent and not allow him to do the same with regard to their hands – to address the central problem, ultimately, is all the variety of techniques to gain an advantage.

In this sense, «style» approach, which is the approach that takes into account the style of play opponents and build on the basis of its own «floating» style, remaining true, yet somewhat outdated. Outdated in the sense that modern poker is multidimensional, rather than a model of this approach.

First, because all the variety of approaches to the drawing of any hand can not be represented in the form of a primitive classification. And secondly, because the «style» approach does not take into account some of the underlying psychological phenomena.

Is there a meaning to take into account? Depends on how we play poker. The higher rates than smaller tables (in the case online poker), the more qualified rivals – so difficult to get game advantage. Consequently, the more a growing sense of the various subtle details.

One of these components – motivation. For example, if we are very good indeed – very successful  player, when he is in the pot, «style» approach tells us that his starter is good for this. Does it be true? In most cases, yes, but not always.

After all cases, for example, situations where playability starter does not come too long, that is, the number distribution, is many times greater than the average distribution. Then, not infrequently, even literate and successful player is not enough to sweat a good starter, because neither literacy nor successful not override the fact that he is above all man and nothing human, including boredom, it is not strange.

Of course, with a literate and successful player this happens much less frequently than with loose and poorly trained, but it happens. And on such factors, especially when playing at high rates can and should pay attention.

This is just one example of «not poker» motivation of the opponent when playing poker. This example is illustrative rather than a textbook in nature. In fact, the question of motivation more deeply. And, perhaps, for the first time at a high level, it raised no professional player, as a professional psychologist, which is quite logical.

We are talking about Alan Skunmeykere, who in his book «Psychology poker» examines the basic principles of successful games in terms of psychology. In particular, it addresses the topic and the «style» approach, arguing that playing styles reflect the wants and fears of people and understanding of these motives will help win at opponents.

This is actually quite deep and the approval means it is above all that you can just fix the manner of a game opponent and adjust, based on his own this game, but if you look deeper and understand the motivation behind this is, and not to any other of action the opponent, the advantage will be much greater.

When playing poker main desire, which are all the rest – of course, to win and the main concern – to lose. But everyone has different «threshold» of desires and fears. Therefore, any game action, suggesting the existence of a mathematically equivalent alternative, such as in the vast majority of poker, is connected with «weighing» personal desires and fears. For each player in different situations have different equally.
