The difference between being a winning and a losing player in poker is often very small. It came to my attention lately that one of my students was not winning as much as he was supposed to with his poker skill level. I had a look at his game, railed him and of course I found a couple of mistakes from a poker theoretical perspective – but the mistakes I found were all minor.
What I realised when I talked to him was that he was running bad and he made that influence his game. When he plays and is winning he plays some very solid and good poker, but when he is losing he gets a loser mentality and is swearing about the other player stupidity, why there always has to hit an ace on flop when he has kings and so on. Besides being pretty tired of listening to mourning I realised that the biggest weakness of a lot of poker players who actual play a decent poker is when they get caught in the captivity of negativity typically caused by other bad beats, setups or other just keeping missing the boards. This spiral of negative energy affects the game of 99% of all players and my advice to all you players who starts getting dissatisfied with bad beats etc.
Get Numb!
Of course there are exceptions and in this post we will present you with an extremely negative poker player which probably is one of the best live tournament players in the world.
Feel the Power of Tony G
This dude just having so many aggressions in him. I almost tilted just listening to him. If you can hear some of his aggressions and borderline psychotic approach to poker and you can recognize your own approacj as similar in the one or the other way, then …. Get Numb!
Take a look for yourself:
