Bobby Fischer
Hi, lately i have been watching a few docs on bobby fischer. I find him quite fascinating it scared me a bit because i saw some of myself in him and obviously he was / went a tad loopy at the end. I especially share his ‘’need to be the best’’. I don’t know how ‘okay’’ it is to say that especially in poker because it’s hard to quantify who is the best ,although obviously the overall thought is that it is the g himself mister Phil Ivey ‘’shout out’’. Since I was little I never really saw much point in doing anything unless I could realistically see a chance of me being the best at it. I would eventually like to be considered one of the best or one of the best at this in the world I’m not saying it’s realistic or that it will happen I don’t think its unattainable though. I see poker as this maze or chess game when I lose I don’t care about the money I just want to destroy the person. I don’t have game selection at all and I am aware it’s not smart if Phil Ivey called me today and wanted to play at the highest I could afford to play in my BR I would instantly accept it wouldn’t be to brag about beating Phil Ivey as we’d have to play for ages to even know who’s better (and obviously its him) I guess more to learn and I find it completely fascinating how he is so good but yet he has never done poker stove or ran EV calcs (at least i assume?)
I feel I think about poker in a far different way to all of you, I don’t feel i think very ‘’technically’’ about it when someone asks me why I do x thing I find it hard to explain it other than ‘’I just know’’ kind of thinking clearly people on DC that play 400 may have a better knowledge or technical knowledge of x spots in poker than I do it kind of hurts my pride a bit and makes me feel stupid although I never really tried to approach poker in that way.
Hand for you, guess my crazy as a mf image is good? Random guy played one hand and left never to return again well actually i saw him playing 200nl the next day..maybe he was drunkys.
