Certainly, memory for poker is very important, as we always need to remember how the opponents played the last hand, so that we can try to understand their type of game, and always get ahead of their moves.

I believe memory is one of the most important things when it comes to poker, at least live anyway. Picking up tells, tendencies, and betting patterns can add a lot to your ev. Even down to simple things like order of action in a hand and how much has been put into the pot by who ate all important factors.

Yes, a good memory is very important. But only in order to remember that in poker you always need to keep calm and a cool head.

There is a saying that came from a video game called Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, the saying was "There is no knowledge that is not power!" All info is good info and funnels into good future decisions. So yes, a memory is key to success if you encounter the same situation with similar players in the future.

Memory is very important in poker, and in the live poker particular. If our memory is strong, we can use it for readings of antagonist body language, poker strategy and rules, etc.. As for what you mentioned about your work and retirement, that is okay. You have done your job to the fullest, and this indicates that your memory is strong as You mentioned. So what you have to do is find an alternative such as poker or other games and hobbies that stimulate memory activity. I am glad to share this post with you. I wish you good health and good luck at poker

Thank You! I totally agree it is very important to keep your mind active, and Poker is a great way of exercising the old grey matter, I intend to keep dementia as far away from me as possible.

When the fun Stops, STOP! (I will)

I think no, I'm playing chess that's where the memory won't hurt)

The truth, it depends from the point of view how the person sees it, if he leaves any legacy, if memory matters ...

True, but we differ in the strength of memory and how quickly we remember things, and this is what makes the poker player distinguished and professional.

Yes, this is another advantage of memory, and it is not the only feature because memory is the basis for storing all the information that we learn in life, and poker is one of this information, and the game of poker has many information that we must store in memory.

Short and unclear message. Memory is not a skill of poker, rather we store poker skills in memory

Yes memory is important. That's why many use a HUD.

Rob Hobson · May 5, 2021

It matters a lot!

Paya_31 · May 6, 2021

Hello of course it is important, beyond the fact that online there are many tools, but it is worth using memory, a clearer example would be in a live game that you will have to remember the range with which you play, the of your opponents, enter other things more.

When making decisions, individuals are constantly receiving and sending information. This information is processed, according to Kahneman, by two systems. • System I can be understood as the fast, automatic system, with little or no effort and no perception of voluntary control. • System II allocates attention to the laborious mental activities that require, including complex calculations. The operations of System II are often associated with the subjective experience of activity, choice and concentration, points out that System I is responsible for reading the simple things, which belongs to the common world that we have in our impressions. When System I works with difficulty, that is, some type of more complex problem, it is necessary for System II to interfere and process the information with more focus. In short, most of what an individual thinks and does originates from his System I, but System II takes control when things get tough. System I doesn't keep up with the alternatives he rejects, not even the fact that there were alternatives. Conscious doubt is not in System I's repertoire; it requires maintaining incompatible interpretations in the mind at the same time, which requires mental effort. Uncertainty and doubt are the domain of the System

Therefore, System I is impulsive and intuitive. System II is capable of reasoning and cautious, but it also has the disadvantage of being lazy. Apparently, it is necessary to employ moderate mental effort for System II to function properly. This condition opens loopholes for bias to occur, classified as a lazy failure in System II. To explain the bias that can occur in System I and II, it adopted the that's all there is. Therefore, our systems tend to accept with cognitive comfort statements as true that often go through biases of judgments and choices.

It matters a lot because playing online sometimes one sees that there are many ways to interpret the flop many times almost repeated plays that can give you the idea that it can be a flush or a straight at least it seems to me and 90% of the time it does not. I make a mistake later if I win or lose is something else.

Poker is closely related to mathematics and of course a good memory is an undeniable plus in this game

Thanks for the accurate information, time and effort. I agree with you completely . I just want to participate in the post: It is in the nature of a person to rush to make decisions in order to show the strength of personality, intelligence or professionalism, and this is in the first system, I think that the mind and feeling are the ones that carry out the reaction, but we must control the speed of the reaction and This is very important and it can be done with exercises in order to control in cases of anger or aggression, etc. ..., and the latter will lead us to good results in making the right decisions in poker and other things.

Stu Ungar had amazing memory. He once won a bet with someone where he had to memorize 52 cards right off the bat.

Exercising Memory

How many more you got exposed to different situations better. After sometimes with the sceneario you can know what to do just by the memory.

Tomek416 · May 19, 2021

I think that the memory may be helpful in avoiding big mistakes that you made in the past.

viacheslavtezikov · May 19, 2021

Memory matters, of course. If you have a good memory, then you remember what hands your opponents are playing, then you understand their style of play.

StateDeParis · May 19, 2021

Sure, it's matter.
