"High Stakes Poker is a cash game poker television program broadcast by the cable television network GSN in the United States."
¿Qué se siente al perder/ganar 350.000 euros en una sola mano?
A modo de introducción sobre el tema de cómo y cuando farolear publico esta anécdota que cuentan muchos jugadores de poker, el famoso farol de Jack Strauss, el hombre que ganó el WSOP en 1982.
"Strauss, on a rush, once found himself with a 7-2, the “beer hand,” worst pocket cards there are. He raised, and only one player called.
The flop came up 7-3-3, Strauss made a bet, and the other player immediately raised him $5,000. Here is where Strauss realized his mistake--the other player was surely betting on a high pocket pair. Obviously, he should fold, right? Yes. But not Strauss. He called.
This forced his opponent to reconsider the strength of his own hand, for Strauss was obviously a canny poker player and no fish, so he must have something good. Whatʼs more, heʼd raised the blinds, so….
The turn card came up a 2. This paired with Straussʼs pocket 2, but that didnʼt make his hand any stronger. He already had two stronger pair, using the 7-3-3 on the board. So what does he do?
Immediately Strauss announces an $18, 000 bet. As his opponent sat struggling with the decision of whether to call or not, Strauss decided to make it easy for him.
“Tell you what,” he said, leaning across the table. “You throw me one of those $25 chips youʼve got, and Iʼll let you see one of my cards. Either one you want.”
Was this just a master poker player being kindly? After a long deliberation, Straussʼs opponent apparently decided yes. He gave Strauss the chip and pointed to one of the cards. Strauss flipped over the 2.
Another long deliberation. When it ended, Straussʼs overmatched opponent concluded that both pocket cards must be 2ʼs, giving Strauss a full house. He folded, handing a nice pot over to gentleman Jack, whoʼd just bluffed his pants off. "

Esta claro que en el poker no son sólo las cartas. La intuición es un factor determinante. De hecho creo que es la principal razón por la que una máquina nunca podrá igualar la inteligencia humana. Cito literalmente una definición que me gustó bastante y pongo un video que refelja bastante bien la sensación.
"Intuition is something that's not readily learned or taught, the "gut feel" factor (or perhaps some form of extra sensory perception that's not readily explained). This can't be taught -- you either have it, or you don't. It comes from deep experience - playing thousands and thousands of poker hands. After a while, you gain enough experience with different complex situations that the brain is able to sort things out.
Our brains are capable of processing extremely complex thoughts. The brain is basically a biological "neural network" - a bunch of chemically-connected, associated neurons that connects various memories together. When presented with a given situation, these neurons automatically fire and our internal neural network quickly reaches a conclusion, having taken many different factors into consideration."
Welcome all cockroachs to my fucking poker spot!! First of all, I do not play poker for a living (that will be nice cause I would use my fortune to fight extreme poverty;-) Seriously, the idea is to bring a little knowledge all together and share experiences with anyone who wants to. Althought I'm doing this for myself and my only objective is to learn, any kind of participation will be welcomed so feel free to post your opinion.
