More notes, part 4 of 8


Reciprocality

It's not about what you do.

Or what they do.

It's both.


Reciprocity versus reciprocality

"You do this for me, I do this for you, the former."


Reciprocality

"In the world of reciprocality, it's not what you do that matters most, and it's not what they do. It's both."

- No thing in poker is isolated. (I bet, that was good, it's in correalation to what you opponent does.)

" Reciprocality says that when you and your opponents would do the same thing in a given situation, no money moves, and when you do something different, it does."


Information reciprocality

- It's as simple as not giving up information in situations they would.

- Each time you don't give out information, you gain.
(example, raging after bad beat, making comment, so forth, just stay quiet, muck the hand, nothing.)

"There's two sides of the information coin at all times, there's giving information and receiving information."


The Information War

- Recieve more, and send less, and you win the information war.

(Anytime you can isolate a situation, where you're able to do something diffrent than they do, which is profitable, which comes again over and over again, you're gonna make a ton of money.)

- Important to put effort into sending less information, and recieve more.

- You work on moving less, moving ur tongue less, eyes less, hands less, shoulders less, everything.

*To receive more, move less*


The cause of profit at poker

www.tommyangelo.com/articles/reciprocality.htm

- Where does the money come from ? Is it just from playing good? No. It's from playing diffrent than they do.

- Giving off little information is profitable.

- Over time, this will add up huge.


The origin of reciprocality

- From duplicate Bridge, where everyone plays the same hands.

- In poker, a good way to see if you played the hand well is, at the river, when hands are shown, imagine you had his hand, he had yours, and then play the hand out in ur head. What would have happend.

"Reciprocal Analysis"


Reciprocality

- Look for, create, and amplify profitable differences.

Life: Can look at it with life as well, for instance, you eat meatballs and spaghetti and get stuffed, the other guy eat some salad and yogurt, and you sit down and play poker.

" Mine for reciprocal gold inside any decision that impacts your poker game."

- Any sort of health asspect is major. (Correct sleep, working out, so forth.)

- If you feel good and sharp all the time, you earn a hell of a lot more money.


Reciprocal analysis

- Example: You bet the river, he calls, you reverse the street, you get his hand, he bets, you would have folded.

"You can use this tool on just one street, or a combination of streets."

Reciprocality in action: Look what people aren't doing, and do that, till they find a counter strategy, then do something else people aren't doing. (Example, when people started 3 betting light, then people started 4betting light, so forth.)


Acting Last

" You can think of there being two positions: last and non-last."

How strong is acting last? It's strong, so strong. The act of being last is monumental.

What does this mean as far as reciprocality matters?

"If you can act last more than they do, you have created an advantage."


Acting last. how to create it?

- playing the button more often than they do

- folding the blinds more than they do

- And how you decide to play in the high jack and cut-off (Play it really aggressive.)

- Multiway pot, you're middle position, first guy bets, you raise, guy behind you fold, now you're last on turn and river.

"Anytime you take action which puts you last more than they do, you made a reciprical advantage."


Bankroll reciprocality

- How you partition your money, and where it actually physicly exists, compared to your opponents money.

- Every poker player has 4 bankrolls

*Net worth
*Poker bankroll
*Pocket bankroll
*table bankroll


Tilt Reciprocality

"Anything that is not your A-game, we are defining as tilt."

"Tilt reciprocality is anytime you tilt less than your opponent would in the same situation."


Tilt reciprocality is your slippage matched up against everybody else's. Tilt reciprocality recognizes that any reduction, however small, in the frequencies, durations, and depths of your own tiltings will always have the effect of favorably widening the gap between your tilt and theirs, thereby earning immediate reciprocal advantage. To make money from tilt, you don't need to be tiltless. But you do have to tilt less.


Rolling with the reciprocality flow

"There's no absolute right or wrong way to play poker, ever. It's entirely dependent on what other people are doing."

* That's why being adaptive and flexible is critical.

- You want to have all the skills available, play extra tight when they are not, and you need to play looser when they are not.

- Preflop % Is something to always be looking for.


Reciprocality and mindfulness

- Be more mindful than your oponent in situations where it is more profitable than mindlessness.

- mindfulness can be seen as a renewable energy sources which never goes dry.

What is the diffrence that makes the biggest diffrence? The ultimate reciprocality?

As it turns out it has nothing to do with the diffrences between ourself an our opponent, and has everything to do with how we are today, and how we are tomorrow.
And that's why this practice with mindfulness is the ultimate
place to mine for recpirocal gold. Because what we are really doing when we remember to put more attention to what is happening now, than we did in the previous hour, day, week, is that we are generating profit, in ourself, in our lives. By making ourself happier people.

What this mean?

If we want to try and take the concept of reciprocality, and apply it at it's very highest level, toward the objective of reducing our suffering, the suffering around us, then all reciprocality should be thought of as being internal.

(Yieeks, deep shit!.)

"Before anything flows, there must be a difference. Between different elevations, water flows. Between different pressures, air flows. Between different poker players, money flows."

"You can mine for reciprocal gold anywhere in the poker universe. Pick a topic, any topic. It can be as general as "food selection" or as specific as "Ace-king in the big blind at limit hold'em." you dig for gold by looking for things that you could do differently in the future, things that will create or increase advantageous differences between you and your opponents, and thereby cause theoretical money to flow from them to you."

You attach to the value that your mind assigns to it, in the same way you attach to a car or a lover. And since everything deteriorates and/or ends, attachment always causes suffering.

This....Episode...Is the best thing in the world I have ever seen about poker....Even on paper, just reading the conclusion gives me goose bumps.

(i.e. you must hear this, it sounds like mumbo jumbo on paper, but the music background and interludes make this series what it is)

This episode alone also made me completely stop being upset about stuff like KK v AA or set over set situations.
When you realise that those hands have 0 (zero) impact on yourwin rate in the long run its really hard to get upset about them

I really enjoyed when he suddenly lowers his voice at the end, and talks for 2 min straight or something. (Maybe it wasn't that long, but felt around 2-3 minuts). And it was all really deep, couldn't keep up with that, or process it all, I will have to re-listen to that quite a few times before it sinks in.
