Niman's Psychology

Discussion for Niman's Psychology.

I liked this. Its good to be reminded of seemingly simple things that can be chewing away at your win rate. The two main points are not looking to increase variance at the expense of EV without realizing it when stuck and to be patient when the board cards aren't cooperating (leaving you feeling like you are check folding too much or something). Don't see spots that aren't really there. Just felt like writing that down to instill it in me.

@14:00 when you 3bet QQ from utg+1 vs utg (claimmyplace), you said the reason was bc he had 4bet jammed AQ. He wasnt the guy who 4bet jammed aq, it was demonika18

love it when authors have prepared some poker related topic/material that they are discussing on "blank" monents in video thx for vid niman

I like the vid, but in my opinion it would be much better, if the concepts were presented in a seperate way. The playing distracted me (and sometimes you) from the talk and vice versa. It just seems to me that a presentation type video, where you can fully concentrate on concepts/ideas (like the philosophy videos) would give credit to the depth of your theoretical knowledge.

I have rewatched the video more conciously and actually liked it very much.

despite that the video covered a ton of great stuff

"I like the vid, but in my opinion it would be much better, if the concepts were presented in a seperate way. The playing distracted me (and sometimes you) from the talk and vice versa.

AGREED very good video tho.

Hello Niman first of all i am new to this site and i have taken a liking to the way you teach it suits the way i process and intake things now im not sure if you guys do this sort of thing but before i ask i should tell you about my goal in joining this site. It is to basically start again and build a game from the ground up. Now as for me as a player i have a small idea of game theory so i can follow the psychology parts of things yet i have absolutely no idea, not about math in general but IN GAME MATH so in turn i often get lost when in game math situations occur and math reasoning is used to determine a way of going about things. My problem is though i have no idea where to start so i was wondering if you guys do this kind of thing of course and if you have the time is if you could please provide me with some kind of step by step process of the way you learned the math of the game by that i mean what you think a good starting point is then what i should dwell into next i.e 1. pot odds 2. percentages 3. implied odds 4. ev and so forth and also some of the tools you used to enhance your knowledge of the in game math i.e some of the books you have read or pc websites and programs you used and so forth if you could do this would be much appreciated
