Would you play differently, if somebody would watch you?

kasinogyn · Nov 16, 2021

I like to play teaching. I play sometimes my son stays here with me and I teach him and I play more rationally. when I'm alone I make more mistakes.

AKQ · Nov 16, 2021

If they are watching me,
They came to see Greatness
and I don't disappoint

Some people clam up and get tight
Some people play their strategy well while being watched

I am an overall aggressive poker player.
People that back me
back me because of this lagtard me
If I play scared( for no reason other than viewers)
they wouldn't approve of my performance, regardless of the results

and playing scared is never ever good poker theory

Vivaly · Nov 16, 2021

At first, of course, it would not have been clear what to do. But in the end, I would still play as usual.

Dalyn · Nov 16, 2021

I mean like on Livestream ?,yes I would play more agro

TerryBLE · Nov 16, 2021

Likewise (You do what you think is best, regardless of the rest, otherwise it wouldn't make sense) - Unless your goal is other than the best performance...

najisami · Nov 16, 2021

Having someone watch me play will definitely affect my game especially if they know poker themselves. I wouldn't want to look like a fool, so I'll probably play more conservative. On the other hand, if someone watches me wanting to learn, it'll be a negative distraction. I think the best way to play is alone. Poker needs focus.

I would play much better if someone watched me.

ItsThePits · Nov 16, 2021

I would try not to change, but human nature dictates you do.
Until you have enough practice playing in front os someone.

GARCIA PABLO DANIEL · Nov 16, 2021

I keep making the same decisions it doesn't bother me that they observe me at all

Whaevoz · Nov 16, 2021

I hate to tell you this, but someone is ALWAYS watching.

tra1mp · Nov 16, 2021

I think I would play the same way. I have to be confident in my game.I think I would play the same way. I have to be confident in my game.

igroksash · Nov 16, 2021

Most likely, nothing would have changed in my game, from the fact that I was being watched, I would not have played differently.

zorro222_zorro222 · Nov 16, 2021

I think it's easy to say that you wouldn't change the way you play at all, but I think it's likely that most of us actually would play a little different in some spots if there were a lot of people watching you play.

YuriSLopes · Nov 16, 2021

Can't really tell without experiencing it.

But probably I would be more attentive since I wouldn't like to be seen as a Donk for whoever is watching.

So yes, I would probably change my play style if I had an audience.

gud1ni99 · Nov 16, 2021

I think it all depends on the style of play to which the player is accustomed, as well as on the character of the person.
I can't say for sure whether my game would change or not if a lot of people were watching me. But my family often watches my games, and this does not affect my style in any way. In public, I play the same way as one.

makisaa · Nov 16, 2021

It is strange feeling when someone watches you during the game. I think you must not be affected from a watcher or watchers. I just try to do everything I would do anyway!

Natasha Veneska · Nov 16, 2021

Try to play perfect, while imagining you are being critiqued over your shoulder

CallmeFloppy · Nov 16, 2021

I guess it depends on who is watching me.

Random person, I don't really care.

Daniel Negreanu - honored he feels he needs to.

Vanessa Rousso - honored she can stand to do so.

My father - wonder when he will yell at me

Phil Hellmuth - wonder when he will yell at me

zipocool · Nov 16, 2021

if it was a TV table, perhaps the game would have changed slightly in order to confuse opponents who could see what decisions you are making

det0nate · Nov 16, 2021

i would play diff if i dident want the watcher learn my secret plays

CourtJester · Nov 16, 2021

If your game has enough randomness to where you are theoretically unexploitable, then it shouldn't matter if someone watches you or not. Easier said than done though

19aleks57 · Nov 17, 2021

It all depends on the situation and my bankroll, but in general I play rationally.

dorivaldojr · Nov 17, 2021

I don't think so, because I'm used to such pressure, but there are people who have difficulty with it, but it's not easy to play with 1 or several people looking at you, no

HTML · Nov 17, 2021

When someone is watching I don't play poker

Would you play differently, if somebody would watch you?
