From my experience, there are only 4 types of poker players.
those players who think they are really good, and as a matter of factly, they really are that great!
those players who think they are really good, but as a matter of factly not very good!
those players who think they are not that good, but as a matter of factly not very good!
those players who think they are not that good, but as a matter of factly is actually very good!
type 1 need no mention, they are household names such as Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson!
type 2 the person that immediately comes to my mind would be Daniel Negreanu.
type 3 would be someone like Phil Hellmuth
type 4 are mostly amateurs who have PROFESSIONAL DREAM but does not know when to take the leap of faith.
About Daniel Negreanu, I see him chastize Phil Hellmuth on television telling Hellmuth that he is no good at cash games. But the funny thing is he is just as bad as Phil Hellmuth when it comes to cash. And in all honesty, the only difference between him and Hellmuth is that Hellmuth knows he is not good and he is only there for the television camera, and Negreanu actually thinks he is good! What a pathetic little guy Negreanu is. I think he is the worst player there is and a predator of a weak player and as a matter of factly, thatās where he made all his money against weak players!
I donāt see Phil Hellmuth as a Type 3. He has a huge ego, and itās unlikely that he thinks heās not that good. He also has a huge amount of wins.
He gets a lot of attention for how he carries on and whines when he loses. Itās so āentertainingā it gets a lot of views. You donāt see him when heās playing well all that much in comparison.
I canāt stand his personality, because heās a poor sport and berates players who beat him, but he has plenty enough WSOP wins to be considered a Type #1. For that matter, so does Negreanu. Do you really think that thereās a successful professional player who isnāt really that good? Tell me how you do against them if youāre playing against them that regularly that you can make a qualified judgement of them.
What a load of bs, you cant say those guys arent good lol Hellmuth has 7 wsop bracelets, 7! im pretty sure thats the current world record and Negraenu is in the poker hall of fame ffs. I mean you may not like them which is ok, thats your opinion, but to say they arenāt good at poker that makes you sound really arrogant, shame on you. Would be like saying Tyson wasnt that good at boxing or Einstein couldnt do math. bs, bsā¦ BS.
PS. Ever heard what Brunson has to say about Negraenuās poker play?
PPS. The saying is āas a matter of factā not factly, I dont think factly is even an english word. Just saying.
I want to, but I just donāt have time to write everything down and I donāt think I want to share all my secrets either! Just take a leap of faith with me aka(trust me)!
I mean, if youāre not going to be forthcoming of your knowledge, why bother publishing anything at all? If youāre that afraid of players catching up to your skill level based on a little reading, I think that says something about the strength of your game. Billion chips or no.
I also feel you are not being fair to me, because I basically told you how to improve and become pro. Buy a poker software such as PIOSOLVER, run it on your computer. And in no time you will be playing gto!!!
