Do you ever receive that itch? The itch to wager, to head to the closest casino, to come across a high stakes game of Texas hold'em, to sit at a Blackjack table for hours on end. I really like that itch. And I like to scratch it.

I also love to watch people today wager. No 2 poker faces seem equal. When I bet I like to assume I put on a poker face that's impassable. Except I know I have certain actions. For one, the only time I smoke is when I bet on poker or Black-jack. And then I chain smoke. But I chain smoke whether or not I am winning or losing, whether I have a excellent hand or bad.

I once wagered in a very weekly poker game. The game was usually 5 card draw. There was a man who played with us every single week who generally wore a hat. When he was dealt a excellent hand, subconsciously, he would start touching and playing with his hat. Needless to say, he in no way won.

The greatest poker player I ever saw was a player who produced additional movements and gestures at a poker table than anybody I had ever seen. He was flawless in the way he dressed. Constantly an expensive suit and tie, shoes shined and nails trimmed. 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 study him for hours. I would attempt to see if I could spot his tell. Selecting lint off his vest- did this mean he was bluffing? Stacking his chips in a short pile - did this imply he had a good hand?

Many years later I ran into him inside a bar in Boston and we had a beverage. I asked him if he have been aware of all those movements he manufactured or if they have been unconscious. He informed me that just about every individual thing he did at a poker table was deliberate. He said that everyone is usually checking out everyone else's poker face. They're trying to notice the the tell.

So his method was to give them lots to feel about. His reasoning was if they were thinking about him picking a piece of fuzz off his vest and what it meant they sure weren't pondering about their cards.

His system was diversion. And it worked for him. In no way give up a system that functions for you.
