JC02 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Is there a "ego" culture in texas poker holdem?? hi guys, im doing a review / report on texas hold em... im totally new to this, and im starting to see why the game is fasinating! Theres just a few questions i have and was wondering if anyone could help me. Is there an ego culture in the game, and is it a good thing or bad thing? I should imagine you have to be really competetive and the thought of losing is awful... would you say there is a BIG EGO culture in the game. A little like football (soccer) or in a professional career/capacity like a surgeon or salesman, where everyone thinks they are the best at it... and want people to know that they are. Also, are you always looking to better your competiton... with more knowledge or better techniques and skill any relivant information would be great thanks guys!

hurstyowl Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 theres is a huge ego culture in the game but it resides within certain players. look at - mike 'the mouth' matusow and phil helmuth, these 2 players are probably the most egotisticle players in the world, both talk about how much better they are than everyone else at the tables and they both never shut up, they continuously spout rubbish whilst sat at the table. it makes for very good viewing though you should check em out on youtube or something. they both have a reputation for blowing up in games when they lose a big hand, its quite hilarious, other than those 2 everyone else is pretty much respectful etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakdale Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Bloody hell. Just played my first tourney for money on Betfair. Turbo No Limits. Talk about adrenaline...and that was only with a $5 stake! Came 2nd out of 76 and won $76!!! Made a couple of mistakes but really pleased. Not sure my heart could take much more of that though. well done!!!! im glad it kinda also backs up my last post too, just out of curiosity tell me have you learnt more about you own and others playing style? if so the guy that feels he should pay for tuition this question could possibly save him some money . agin well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 well done!!!! im glad it kinda also backs up my last post too, just out of curiosity tell me have you learnt more about you own and others playing style? if so the guy that feels he should pay for tuition this question could possibly save him some money . agin well done Cheers. I think my style is inconsistent - I felt my confidence ebbing and flowing. Made some good calls but missed two big pots that I would've won if I'd kept my nerve. The rate of increase of the blinds was terrifying! couldn't really pick up on others style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamiedee Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 In my oppinion you are best off learning on how to bet and when to bet before actually placing big cash games because it could cost you dearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the system is so good, why do they need to sell it to others to make money. It's even got the oldest pricing trick in the book. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
