Do you ever have that itch? The itch to bet, to head to the closest gambling den, to uncover a great stakes game of Texas holdem, to sit at a Pontoon table for hours on end. I really like that itch. And I love to scratch it.

I also really like to watch men and women gamble. No 2 poker faces seem the same. When I gamble I like to assume I put on a poker face that is impenetrable. But I know I have certain actions. For 1, the only time I smoke cigarettes is when I play poker or Black jack. And then I smoke. Except I chain smoke no matter if I am winning or losing, no matter whether I’ve a great hand or bad.

I once wagered in a very weekly poker game. The casino game was constantly 5 card draw. There was a guy who wagered with us just about every week who usually wore a hat. When he was given a excellent hand, unconsciously, he would begin touching and betting with his hat. Pointless to say, he by no means won.

The greatest poker gambler I ever saw was a person who created far more actions and signals at a poker table than anybody I had ever seen. He was impressive in the way he dressed. Often an high priced suit and tie, boots shined and nails manicured. He was meticulous in this manner. And he was constantly brushing his pants or rubbings his hands or stacking his chips in neat little piles.

I use to study him for hours. I would tried to see if I could notice his tell. Choosing lint off his jacket- did this imply he was bluffing? Arranging his chips within a short pile – did this imply he had a excellent hand?

Several years later I ran into him inside a bar in Vegas and we had a beer. I asked him if he have been aware of all those motions he made or if they had been subconscious. He told me that each and every little thing he did at a poker table was deliberate. He said that everyone is constantly checking out everybody else’s poker face. They’re trying to detect the the tell.

So his system was to provide them lots to consider about. His reasoning was if they were thinking about him picking a piece of lint off his coat and what it meant they certain were not pondering about their cards.

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