Here's part 2 of my notes from Tommy Angelo
Right Thinking
position
anticipation
door A door B
reciprocality
the rake
the rules
lopping off the C game
(play when ur most awake, most energtic, don't eat a big meal so on).
"Losing less is a form of winning."
Examples of C game: Playing too many hands
(Become aware that ur in C game, ignore all D rank hands.)
Find out where your bars are, and remember them when you feel on ur c game. And never go below.
door A door B (applies to any betting decisions).
Always have 2 options, betting or checking, not saying one is better, but you always wanna be looking, which one is better.
- Have the concept of seeing everything as a choice. (You have an option)
- Look for every little bit of edges you can find (site, table selection, rake deals so forth).
Position
- "There's really only two positions. There's last, and non-last."
(Like,4 way multiway, 2nd to last isn't in position).
- Whoever is last has huge advantage, not 2nd to laste.
- It doesn't matter if you don't understand position, it's so fundementally profitable to be last, comparing to be non last.
"Acting last is like taking a drink of water. We don't have to understand why it's so good for us to know tht it is. And the benefits are unaffected by our understanding of them".
- Adjust ur betting strategy, in a way that results in you being last more then them.
Positions crushes dominaces hard (AT vs AK blabla osv). Dominance is overrated.
Example: if one guy in last pos has KJ, early pos has KQ, chances of a K actually hitting the flop is same as a set. And when it does happen, the late position guy will lose a lot less than he would if he was oop, and win a lot more when he hits.
Anticipation
- The only thing you need to anticipate is a bet or a raise.
- In theory, if you're good at anticipating, you'l Never ever ever ever ever.... be surprsied.
- If your oponents check, you bet, and he check raises you, if you right then and there have to make a decision, didn't see it coming. You should have already decided.
A) It will make your bet better (When you already considderd he might raise).
(Or if you told yourself, if he check raises, I'll fold)
It's easier to let go, but if you get surprised It's really easy to get sucked in or make a mistake.
"Plan the street."
Ps, It's really really hard to not get surprised (omg omg now what)
- Takes a lot of training, it's a big emotional spike, and by anticipating it, you're ready, and more focused. Repetition, focusing on that task.
* Makes your mechanics eerly scripted
anticipation = better betting and less tilt
The Rake
"Separate the rake as a business expense."
- The rake is huuuuuge
Rules
"Don't think of any rule as being good or bad, or right or wrong."
- When we have resistance to our rules somewhere else, it throws us of. "Mind noise" and that can have only one effect on us.
- Don't wanna sit at a casino thinking "ffs, that is a dumb rule"
* Be in complete acceptance. Adapt to new rules (buy ins, bettings, blind structure, so forth). (Avoid creating a negative state in your mind).
- Righting thinking is, avcourse there is gonna be new rules here and there. The rules is the rules.
Goals and Targets
- People have a tendency to not want easy goals, because goals should be hard to obtain. So people then tend to set goals which are unobtainable, because then it won't matter if you don't make them, because it's so far fetched. (I wanna play perfect poker, I want to never tilt.)
- People want to avoid hard goals they could in theory be able to reach, but don't want to feel like a failure when they don't reach them within the given timelimit.
"Just because you don't hit a target doesn't mean you're a failure."
Methaphor: If you throw a log in the ocean, then like to throw rocks at it, sometimes you'll get close to your target, sometimes you'll miss and sometimes you'll hit
Success or failure is detrimental to a poker player.
- Much better to think of whatever sort of projections of things you hope to happen in the future, of targets, you aim, sometimes you make it, sometimes you miss it. (You pick up another stone and go at it again).
Goals have an inherent time frame that takes you into the future (We don't want to be in the future). We wanna play our A game NOW!!.
Targets: "Playing this next hand well, or saying the right things" Targets can be in the moment.
" A target can be a constant stream of present tense attempts."
- The word targets leans us to right thinking, and goal takes us to all the places we don't want to be.
The four noble truths of C game
- C game exists (I you're gonna be a poker player, you're gonna have a c game. No way around it)
- the cause of C game. Desire, attachment. Exactly the same cause of all suffering, and rears it ugly head in poker and causes C game.
"Only when we truly understand the cause of C game, can we move to the third noble truth. Which is how to end it."
- The cessation of C game: How to end it, how to be unattached, how to be not full of craving.
- The instruction. (The eightfold path). The instructions which digs right to the heart of undoing the cause of C game, which then will undo the C game.
