Follow the heart or the brain?

Acechador · Oct 27, 2020

I prefer to follow my instincts, it is a mix between experience and courage, I think that a professional player trusts his instincts a lot.

Sariane · Oct 27, 2020

I think that in order to succeed, we must follow the brain, because it is rational. more like we are human and we have a feeling that the heart also counts a lot

In few occasions I follow the heart almost always the knowledge ahead.

richardpro · Oct 28, 2020

the two are a conjunction, if you think your hands are so big enough, go ahead

The cause to make me behave is heart but most of the time it's useless or obstacle.

And the brain itself gives me victory but it doesn't give me any inspiration.

Anyway, So I always try to follow my brain but the cause that forces to follow my brain is my heart.

In poker as in the life you have to choose between following your heart and following your brain. As I mentioned in a previous thread, I prefer to follow my heart, because I know that I have a good feeling, then I trust it almost all the time.
But sometimes I allow my decision to pass via my brain before to go out in the reality.
I am very interested to know your opinions about that, what do you believe more, your heart or your brain?

In every survey that I've seen, going with your gut, or heart, is right 50% of the time.

In poker, being right 50% of the time, equals huge losses.

You will never, EVER, see the big boys going with feelings. EVER!!!!

for poker, you definitely have to listen to your brain.
is objective. To follow the heart you first have to strengthen the brain with a lot of reading about poker.

In poker specifically, you ALWAYS have to go with your brain. Playing with your heart is how you make bad emotional decisions, and you're very susceptible to tilt! Think about math and game theory when you play and it'll take you a long way.

most of the time my heart wins and is always right in my choices

When I play poker, I not only take math into account, but also listen to my heart, and this game brings good results.

I trust more the brain. Emotions are not very good at investment decisions, and poker its not an exception. By the way, what does everybody mean by heart? Its like what you feel in your guts, or your emotion towards something?

Romaliyskiy · Oct 30, 2020

Logical thinking) and if there is no logic in some statement, then they rely on the heart!)

Anton1609 · Oct 30, 2020

I trust my brain more when I trust my heart I make stupid mistakes

I deeply believe the feminine intuition is a powerful tool in poker.:date:

ToNy70929 · Oct 30, 2020

What is responsible for intuition and logic? If the heart and the brain, then both are important to me

Why not listen to both?

That will certainly give you the best answer if you get the decision they both agree on

Rob Hobson · Oct 30, 2020

My brain is doing very good so far. I stick with it.

kringoo · Oct 30, 2020

the brain for sure, because in poker there is no place for emotion, a game in which every moment we have to make decisions, so there is no room for emotions, I have the brain

blackclover · Oct 30, 2020

I use the brain than the heart, it works all the time.

Rvstam · Oct 30, 2020

mix: 50%brain 50 % heart

Mati532 · Oct 30, 2020

50 and 50 !!

Julthefreak · Oct 30, 2020

I always play mixed. With every hand I try to think about which cards can top mine and what the chances are that I will win or lose. When I think it gets tight, I listen to my heart. (or hope for the heart of the cards: D)

Vampduk · Oct 30, 2020

Far too often, the heart. Or at least, I will use the brain for the start of a tournament, and then get irritated by someone hoing all in pre flop constantly, and the first sign of a half good hand, I'll mess up.

capujoss · Oct 30, 2020

Following your heart and becoming emotional is the worst thing you can do. Play like a bot.

mervin88 · Oct 31, 2020

never follow your heart or else we are doomed

Follow the heart or the brain?
