Do you ever obtain that itch? The itch to gamble, to head to the nearest betting house, to locate a good stakes game of Texas holdem, to sit at a Blackjack table for hours on end. I really like that itch. And I really like to scratch it.

I also really like to watch individuals bet. No two poker faces seem the same. When I bet I like to think I put on a poker face which is impenetrable. Except I know I’ve certain mannerisms. For 1, the only time I smoke is when I play poker or Black jack. And then I chain smoke. But I smoke no matter if I am winning or losing, no matter if I’ve a great hand or bad.

I once bet in a very weekly poker game. The game was always five card draw. There was a guy who wagered with us each week who generally wore a hat. When he was given a good hand, unconsciously, he would begin touching and betting with his hat. Pointless to say, he never won.

The greatest poker player I ever saw was a gentleman who manufactured additional movements and gestures at a poker table than anyone I had ever met. He was impeccable in the way he dressed. Generally an pricey suit and tie, boots shined and nails trimmed. He was diligent in this manner. And he was often brushing his pant leg or rubbings his hands or putting his chips in tidy little piles.

I use to study him for long periods of time. I’d tried to see if I could notice his tell. Choosing fuzz off his vest- did this imply he was bluffing? Arranging his chips within a short pile – did this mean he had a excellent hand?

Many years later I ran into him in a very bar in New York and we had a drink. I asked him if he have been aware of all those motions he manufactured or if they have been subconscious. He told me that every little thing he did at a poker table was intentional. He said that everybody is constantly checking out everyone else’s poker face. They are trying to notice the the tell.

So his system was to give them lots to feel about. His reasoning was if they were pondering about him selecting a piece of lint off his vest and what it meant they positive were not pondering about their cards.

His process was distraction. And it worked for him. In no way give up a system that functions for you.
