Captain’s Log: Challenge from Burr I was challenged by @burr.eth to provide (at least) 3 things I learned or want to learn from playing in a poker tournament. I certainly have picked up more about the game recently, but I keep learning every game I play. 1) It is much easier to win a bluff based on position, if you bluff on the button, it’s much more likely to win than if you’re under the gun or blind. 2) Don’t bluff against fish, they will call you just to play the hand. I’m guilty of this too, I want to know what other players are holding so I will intentionally lose to see what they have. 3) Play super tight hands against maniacs, that’s the only way to get the best of them. 4) Something I want to learn: how to manage chip anxiety with a short stack. It’s easy to “tilt” or bet emotionally after a big loss, but if I have a short stack, I’m likely to throw it all away because I don’t think I have a chance of recovery, even though that isn’t always the case.
