Message: [QUOTE="StormRaven, post: 1307154, member: 53047"] [B][U][SIZE=3]Poker Mindset Questionnaire Part 1:[/SIZE][/U][/B] [SIZE=3]I've read many a debate on the subject of poker. Most debates seem to revolve around the same questions, same principals, same theories, etc; [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Inquiring minds want to know, my mind wants to know, where do you stand on these debates and more importantly: why? [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]In lieu of having multiple threads (which we already do) with just one question per thread, and in hopes of avoiding multiple more being created with the same questions every six months or so, I've created a questionnaire that I hope encompasses all the typical questions that are normally asked/debated. I hope all will participate in and answer the questions truthfully. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I've noticed that as players gain more experience, age, and/or there is a shift in general societies viewpoint, that people's mindset seems to change or alter a bit. Please feel free to come back to this thread at a later date if you have a new viewpoint to share. If you change your mind on a question, please state why.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]*This questionnaire is long, therefore I have broken it into two separate threads, part 1 & part 2. If you have the patience to answer all the questions that would be appreciated. :) If there is a particular question/topic that is near and dear to you, feel free to make a separate post with a more detailed answer/viewpoint. Of course if there are some questions you are not comfortable answering then skip them.
