Steven Crist's New Book

[Scav]

I personally don't think a book teaches you how to gamble or handicap. it is ALL EXPERIENCE...Poker is the same way

Personally, all the poker on TV and all the information on the net should be used as tool and you should just soak it in, and play the way you play.

Poker-wise, I don't care about pot odds or 5 people in the pot, I play the player.....Three weeks ago in a live tourney at my buddies house. I raised, got re-raised, and RE-raised the guy back, all pre-flop....THE GUY laid down AK into my K4. he showed me he was laying down AK, said "THIS IS A GREAT FOLD" I showed him what I had, the rest of his chips lasted an hour.....pissed away 25% of his stake thinking I would fold

I personally love how much this crap is on TV and these online players. NONE of them have had a horse rushing on the outside or a horse dying on the lead, or thrown $100 on a 20/1 and have the lead to the end and get nipped..They stare at a computer....You got to go through the RANGE of emotions that happen while gambling before you earn the respect of the gambling gods.

The only way to succced at this crap is to be gambling tested and to me that means the following

1) Multiple heart attacks through out the day
2) Inquiried out of a $2500 pick four
3) 3 hours of BAD cards
4) Betting Shane Laviolette
5) Betting Lori Keith
6) Missing credit card payment
7) Going to the ATM multiple times trying to withdrawal $500 because you SWEAR it is in there
8) Getting bullied and taunted at a card table
9) Multiple 'tilt' episodes throughout the years
