this is one of the reasons I like poker so much.

Because its very difficult for people to do this in any significant way.

to explain, I have often found people assume that I am stupid due to been autistic. I am not I had the official IQ test and score 144.

However this does not matter if at work my boss assumes I am stupid regardless of the results or my capabilities i can be told to shut up ignored or the worse assumed of me.

meaning i can be a situation where no matter how hard i work or what i achieve my fate is always less then desirable sometimes you get despondent with this.

at a poker table though they can make there assumptions and get punished for it. regardless of how smart or stupid people think I am if I am playing the game right they cant stop me no one can.

I guess there will always be better players, but if they can beat me they can have higher win rates elsewhere, or higher win rates at higher stakes. either way win or lose they are hurting themselves coming for me.

It is one of the few areas where I feel people cannot stop me if i put the work in.

sure people can assume that someone is an idiot because they are X whether X be autism or black or any other stereo type, they can interpret wins as luck and losses as deserved. They can call me an idiot for a play and refuse to listen to any explanation.

But after all is said and done My results and decisions answer to maths not then.
