First off.. Get out of the house more often... Second.. Yeah. You learn to read people's past serious bets and bluffs, even on-line... There's more to measuring up your opponent than just reading their faces and "tells" Third... Yeah.. all of that math and probability sht. LOL, I do play live. In fact, I vastly prefer it to online, but it's tougher to make a living live because of the slow pace of the game and the fact you have to play much higher levels for a comparable income rate. I make about as much playing $1/$2 online as I do playing $10-$20 live, eg. I wasn't including tracking players' tendencies (past bets/bluffs) in the "reading them" category. To me, that's a very different thing than reading body language and stuff. We agree on this point. So how do you know that someone acting on something is a result of them having faith or them analyzing the risk/reward? No, both things can happen, we agree. My general point is simply that knowing someone acted isn't evidence that they acted on faith VS on analyzing the risk/reward. So the question then becomes: how do you tell the difference, and what IS the difference in the mind of someone acting on one VS the other? Well, I'm not sure sure if "mindlessly without thought" is necessarily opposed to "weighing risk and loss." I think the latter can happen unconsciously. As for the "act in faith based on evidence and reason," my general issue is what role you think the "faith" plays beyond the evidence and reason. |
