Do you ever receive that itch? The itch to wager, to head to the closest betting house, to uncover a superior stakes casino game of Hold em, to sit at a Blackjack table for hours on end. I love that itch. And I really like to scratch it.

I also like to watch individuals gamble. No two poker faces seem equal. When I gamble I like to believe I put on a poker face which is impenetrable. Except I know I've particular mannerisms. For one, the only time I smoke is when I bet on poker or Black-jack. And then I smoke. But I chain smoke whether or not I am winning or losing, no matter if I've a excellent hand or bad.

I once played in a very weekly poker game. The casino game was constantly 5 card draw. There was a guy who wagered with us each week who constantly wore a hat. When he was given a good hand, unconsciously, he would start touching and playing with his hat. Needless to say, he never won.

The very best poker gambler I ever saw was a person who manufactured additional actions and signals at a poker table than anyone I had ever met. He was flawless in the way he dressed. Always an high priced suit and tie, boots shined and nails manicured. He was meticulous in this manner. And he was usually brushing his pant leg or rubbings his hands or putting his chips in neat little piles.

I use to examine him for long periods of time. I'd attempt to see if I could spot his tell. Picking lint off his jacket- did this mean he was bluffing? Stacking his chips within a short pile - did this mean he had a excellent hand?

Several years later I bumped into him in the bar in Boston and we had a beverage. I asked him if he have been aware of all those movements he made or if they have been subconscious. He informed me that every little thing he did at a poker table was deliberate. He said that everybody is constantly checking out everyone else's poker face. They are attempting to notice the the tell.

So his system was to provide them lots to feel about. His reasoning was if they had been pondering about him picking a piece of lint off his vest and what it meant they sure were not thinking about their cards.

His method was diversion. And it worked for him. Never give up a method that works for you.
