"When it comes to advice about poker, my attitude is ery simple: seek it out, absorb it, but while you’re at the table, forget it."
The first line from Ivey's tip.
That is the essence of "no mind" in zen, and the artfulness of the game. The entire piece is tremendous. Thanks for pointing it out.

I agree with Ivey here and its a great tip. I noticed, after reading tons of poker books, learning all the odds and math, my results really don't improve drastically. However, I ALWAYS find that if I take a few days off of poker and just do something else that I enjoy, and don't think about poker at all, when I come back to the tables after my break, I ALWAYS play ery ery well and make a lot of money in the first few hours.

What I have learned in live tourney play is when you are in the money mess with people heads as much as you can especially the other large chip stacks at the table. Dont be bullied and always fake weakness against large stacks because they always think they can buy the pot outright. I love playing at a tight table late in mtt live play raising stealing blinds, showing bluffs reraising with nothing at showdown with middle pairs to symbolize poor decision and card playing. People will take note of this style of play and try to take advantage of it. The key is being able to change gears and get back into your tight style of play when the time is right. When you do this timing is crucial with all of this but if you hit you monster pocket pair and the other large chipstack hits a high pocket pair also thats when all the work pays off. They dont have a clue what you have in the hole and assume you are playing stupid. Wrong you are back in the zone and using there own self aggression towards them.

i think it was a ery good tip and reminder, and it is true, for example:
you make your descisions base on maths people will pick up on that and use it against you, it will be ery easy to bluff u since all they got to do is making a bet that dont give u odds to call

This article actually took me off a tilt I was recently experiencing and got me back to what I was doing well before. Thanks for posting this link!!
I also read a lot of the articles at bodoglife by their pros. There is some good stuff there and worth checking out.

I read that yesterday, and frankly I don't think it will really help me that much. just kind of seemed like common sense. Sure everyone forgets it from time to time, so it is nice to see him spell it out.

I agree with the playing the players and not so much the cards.....i also agree that many people try to play like everyon else or just like someone else......although if you play in your own uniqeu way it may not be as profitable if you play lie a mathmatical player or a reader ...i dunno i just think that the greatest have all the great poker player traits all in one!

I read this piece yesterday, and really liked the advice. I often find myself, at the levels I normally play, over thinking and over analyzing what should be fairly clearcut instinctive decisions.

It is phil ivey's first full tilt tip and I couldnt be more unsatisfied.
what he is talking about is legit but it just wasnt fulfilling, especially from the great mind of phil ivey.
I dont know, hopefully more are to come

I like that advice. He is so right - my head is sometimes so cluttered when I am at the table that I forget to play the players.
