It's a lot harder to defend when you're making demands on people and governments to hand over their own cash to your causes

http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/ontherecord/2011/06/07/taxing-questions-for-bono-and-u2/

I thought it went: -

1) My cards
2) my cards + my opponents cards
3) my cards + opps range + opps thoughts on my cards
4) my cards + opps range + opps thoughts on my cards + what my opps thinks I think their range is

1) My cards
1.5) My cards+whether my opponent is prone to bluffing/getting out of line
2) my cards + my opponents cards
3) my cards + opps range + opps thoughts on my cards
4) my cards + opps range + opps thoughts on my cards + what my opps thinks I think their range is

Would say about 95 percent of players are in 1.5 plus. They may not be identifying your range but it's just really natural for people to try to define what kind of person you are from fairly scant information, and really natural to rebel against attempts to be pushed around too.
Sit down heads up on any level and raise 30% more pre than the norm, and show me a player who hasn't adjusted somewhat to you within 15 hands. They may not have formally identified your range but they have a broad idea of where they thing you're at, and probably a bit of what you think of them too.

Has anyone been on a ba flight? If yes are they good?


My flight was cancelled with Finnair and they gave us tickets with ba

Used to fly with them bout 5 times a month, flawless pretty much. Mind you there was one time I was dressed like a ned (so I didn't get kidnapped in Lagos) and one of their girls came up and told me I was in the wrong queue (for Business Class). There's no apologizing your way out of that one.
Always found their cabin staff exceptional. One hostess came and took our meal away from us before we were finished it, telling us 'we had had plenty of time and were doing too much talking', then came back and sat down with us to share some wine. (True story).
I did see one act of rudeness, but it was pretty justified. Some guy was being a right dick with the cabin girl, treating her like scum just because he could basically, sending the meal back twice, and just giving her a lot of aggro. Came to disembark, she's standing there with her nice hat and gloves and smile, being nice and cheery 'goodbye, thankyou, goodbye, thankyou'...Angsty tosser is up next and gets a nice smile and a 'Fuck Off' from her. Instaglowers with a 'I don't belieeeve it!' at her. She keeps up her smile and murmurs 'And neither will anybody else'.

I don't need corresponding numbers from the pics by the way, just answers.

Gonna need at least two more coffees before attempting this.

I don't envy you doing the scoring!

Spreadsheet ftw hopefully

Quiz should be pretty easy to complete, just 7 questions with a win by thinking, you'll pwn

Happy Birthday Alan Turing

Anyone worked out the Google homepage yet? Lost.com Some kind of code........

[SO YOU'RE ANSWERING FOR EACH QUESTION: -WHAT YOU THINK EVERYONE WILL SAY FOR FIRST PART,(COMMA)-WHAT ONLY YOU WILL SAY FOR SECOND PART]

Welcome,

This is a split game Farce.

-For each question, please supply two answers.
The first answer is the sheep answer, ie you are trying to find the answer most popularly chosen.
The second answer is the reverse sheep answer, you are trying to submit an answer that no one else has chosen.

Answers are submitted separated by a comma. Eg: 1: dog, snake. (Sheep answer first, Reverse Sheep answer second)

-Scoring: Sheep answer: Points=total number of sheep (same-answerers) + 5 pts. Non sheep still get their points.
Reverse Sheep Answer: 5 points if you score an ace (you alone submit that answer). No points for non ace answers.
Scoop: If you get both the Sheep answer and a Reverse Sheep Ace answer for a question, you gain an additional 8 points.

Your Sheep answer does not need to be a correct answer, your Reverse sheep answer must be correct (except for Spot the Ball)

It works really well, looks real actually. How did you cut and paste so cleanly?

I haven't read this book so I was trying to figure out what it's about. I've seen books on the 'Psychology of Golf' (The Mental Game of Golf?) and it's saying that various mental factors like self-esteem, perseverance, calmness can affect your game as much as your physical swing etc so these need to be understood and corrected where necessary. So...does this book take that process, and apply it to Poker (in a way that could be done with any other 'sport') I guess.
I suppose this is different from what I'd call 'Psychology applied to Poker'....Poker being obviously a psychological process in essence more than anything else I can think of, and poker players 'doing psychology' (in a sense) while playing the game. If there's so much psychology involved, then the robust findings of psychology could be applied to it I guess. I'm thinking it's not part of this book (although I did see a response to Andrew's question about 'trusting the gut/subconscious process'). I've actually never seen a book that deals with poker in this way, I'm sure they're out there though.

Yes, this book is comparable to the books you've seen in golf, or other sports, and applies it to poker. As you said, mental factors impact performance in physical sports and the same occurs in poker. It's funny you mention golf, as I actually come from a golfing background. I was an aspiring professional, played in 4 years in college - three-time All-American, and was derailed in my early 20's because I was choking under pressure. I went looking for answers in the traditional golf psychology that was available at the time (late 90's) and while I played better most of the time, I actually still kept failing under pressure. Determined to find an answer I dove into psychology and have spent the past 10 years getting educated (Master's in counseling psychology), working with golfers (over 300 including several PGA and LPGA tour players, and for the last 5 years working with poker players. Btw, in the middle of my working with golfers, I solved my problems and started playing professionally - shot a 63 in a big cash game at my club.

When I made the transition from coaching golfers to poker players, it was remarkable how similar the psychological issues are. The book is based around my experience working with poker players on issues with tilt, motivation, focus, fear/anxiety, handling variance, etc. It includes stories from 9 clients, including Barry, who share how my methods helped them improve their mental game problems, and play better.

The info in the book around the gut, comes from other material in here around learning. Learning isn't the sexiest thing to talk about, but interestingly, many mental game issues are created from inaccurate beliefs about the learning process. Plus, this information actually helps you to learn technical skills in poker easier too.

Hopefully I've answered your question about the book, but if there's anything else you want to know, let me know.
 

That sounds great Jared, I can't wait to read this book.

I've read a fair bit on golf and have played all my life, and remain pretty bad, due to slice issues with any club above a 5 I. It's really expanded my knowledge of different types of trees I even have an indoor golf system, the Launchpad one, not sure how it rates amongst decent golfers though.

I've looked a little bit at the theories on the mental game, learning, etc. Tbh it looks like a bit of a minefield. With so many competing theories, how do you go about picking the right one when you're writing a book?

I did lol quite hard at that

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-18556183

A former policeman has been convicted of withholding evidence from prosecutors while investigating a murder in Fife 17 years ago.
Richard Munro, 53, was found guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.

As a detective inspector he led the investigation into the killing of Andrew Forsyth in Dunfermline in 1995.

As a follow-up book I suggest Barry writes The Physical Game of Poker, where he offers tips on how to move chips into the pot, how best to look at your cards, and the precise best point to punch someone in the face after they slowroll you.

Good post.
