Meeting the right people in poker is one of the key factors that is going to determine your development as a poker player. We all know there’s a lot of variance in poker, especially in MTTs. What we often do not realize is that there is also a lot of chance and variance involved in who we meet throughout our career. I have been lucky enough to meet some great people.
遇見對的人可以決定自己德州撲克生涯的順利與否.
我們都知道德州撲克,尤其是錦標賽的波動很大.
但往往我們忽略了生涯遇見了哪些人也是波動.
我運氣很好的遇見了一些對的人.
其實這是很有趣的
人生通常遇見了誰也是一種波動.
撲克圈往往是如果沒有結交對的人通常容易原地踏步或破產.
當然也有遇見了專門取巧的人從此靠取巧生活...
I remember not really putting too much effort into getting better, which resulted in me roughly breaking even for the next ~5k games. Besides the obvious problems of laziness and overconfidence after a big score, I didn’t have any clue how to get better at the game. Around that time there weren’t too many good training sites, most poker books were already outdated and the software tools that were around I had never heard of. I didn’t play any live poker and didn’t know anybody in the poker world. I didn’t have anyone to discuss strategy with.
我記得當時我沒有花太多努力來進步, 所以當時我5000場沒有獲利.
除了我明顯的懶惰與在獲得成績後的過度自信,我當時根本不知道怎麼進步.
當時並沒有很多教學網站,大部分的書都很過時,很多軟體我也沒聽過.
我也沒有打現場錦標賽,所以我不認識任何撲克圈的人, 也沒有任何人可以討論撲克策略.
過度自信很常見,尤其上風期的時候很多人會覺得自己已經"破解"這個遊戲了
通常如果身旁沒有好玩家持續督促與討論常常會忘記謙卑
建議通常錦標賽打出成績保持著自己只是運氣好的心態
持續補足自己的策略
懶惰也很常見,畢竟要每天努力但還會輸錢的狀況要維持動力很困難
Having someone to bounce ideas off was extremely important. It kept me focused and motivated. We both had a lot of different leaks, and we were able to plug a lot of them together. We tried new things in-game and discussed them after. We tried and discussed new software tools together. These things get a lot easier when you do it together with someone.
有人一起討論想法很重要,可以讓自己更專心並維持動力.
我和我朋友有不同的漏洞, 我們互相幫彼此抓出了不少漏洞
我們嘗試在打牌時測試新策略並事後檢討
我們也一起互相嘗試新軟體.
這些如果有人一起做都簡單許多
一個人打牌非常容易懶惰,手數容易因為上下風而降低
(上風覺得自己賺飽了,下風不敢打牌覺得越打越輸)
檢討與研究就更容易懶惰了
畢竟是在執行一件可能看不見成果的苦差
事實上人都習慣付出後看的到成果
例如投資要馬上可以拿回報酬
但撲克偏偏常常看不到報酬,自己實力是否增強也不知道
就算增強了也可能被波動掩蓋
有一群撲克朋友一起彼此督促很重要
如果看到朋友實力開始拋離自己時,自己會有所警惕
接下來作者基本上就講BitB的教練團與團員帶給他很多全新的觀點與想法
他自己當教練時也一直督促自己變得更強
每個人都可以嘗試教導比自己更不足的玩家
教學時會重新檢視自己的想法
多多接觸外部的人
畢竟如一開始講的
接觸哪些人也是人生波動
如果都不接觸外界的人而悶著打牌就不會發生"遇見對人的上風期"
