Do you ever acquire that itch? The itch to gamble, to head to the nearest gambling den, to come across a superior stakes casino game of Hold'em, to sit at a Chemin de fer table for hours on end. I love that itch. And I really like to scratch it.

I also like to watch men and women gamble. No 2 poker faces seem similar. When I bet I like to think I put on a poker face that is impassable. But I know I have particular actions. For 1, the only time I smoke is when I bet on poker or Twenty-one. And then I smoke. Except I chain smoke no matter if I am succeeding or losing, no matter whether I've a great hand or bad.

I once played in a weekly poker game. The game was often 5 card draw. There was a person who wagered with us every week who always wore a hat. When he was dealt a good hand, unconsciously, he would start touching and wagering with his hat. Pointless to say, he in no way won.

The greatest poker gambler I ever saw was a gentleman who created additional movements and gestures at a poker table than anyone I had ever seen. He was flawless 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 often brushing his pant leg or rubbings his hands or putting his chips in tidy little piles.

I use to examine him for hours on end. I'd tried to see if I could notice his tell. Selecting fuzz off his vest- did this mean he was bluffing? Stacking his chips in a short pile - did this mean he had a beneficial hand?

Many years later I ran into him in the bar in Vegas and we had a beverage. I asked him if he had been aware of all those actions he produced or if they were subconscious. He informed me that just about every single thing he did at a poker table was intentional. He said that everyone is generally checking out everyone else's poker face. They're trying to notice the the tell.

So his program was to give them lots to feel about. His thinking was if they had been pondering about him choosing a piece of fuzz off his jacket and what it meant they certain weren't thinking about their cards.

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