Do you ever receive that itch? The itch to bet, to head to the closest gambling establishment, to find a good stakes game of Texas holdem, to sit at a Black jack table for hours on end. I love that itch. And I love to scratch it.

I also like to watch people today gamble. No two poker faces seem equal. When I wager I like to feel I put on a poker face which is impassable. But I know I’ve certain mannerisms. For 1, the only time I smoke cigarettes is when I wager on poker or Blackjack. And then I chain smoke. But I chain smoke regardless of whether I am succeeding or losing, no matter if I have a excellent hand or bad.

I once bet in a very weekly poker game. The game was usually 5 card draw. There was a person who played with us every week who always wore a hat. When he was given a good hand, unconsciously, he would start touching and playing with his hat. Needless to say, he by no means won.

The very best poker player I ever saw was a man who manufactured more actions and signals at a poker table than anyone I had ever seen. He was impressive in the way he dressed. Usually an high priced suit and tie, footwear shined and nails trimmed. He was meticulous in this manner. And he was constantly brushing his pant leg or rubbings his hands or putting his chips in tidy little piles.

I use to study him for hours on end. I would tried to see if I could spot his tell. Selecting lint off his vest- did this mean he was bluffing? Stacking his chips within a short pile – did this mean he had a good hand?

Years later I ran into him inside a bar in Chicago, il and we had a beer. I asked him if he had been aware of all those movements he made or if they have been unconscious. He told me that every single individual thing he did at a poker table was intentional. He said that everyone is usually checking out everybody else’s poker face. They’re attempting to notice the the tell.

So his program was to give them lots to believe about. His reasoning was if they have been thinking about him selecting a piece of lint off his vest and what it meant they certain were not pondering about their cards.

His technique was diversion. And it worked for him. Never give up a method that functions for you.
