In what emotional state do you most play your tournaments? In beta? Or in Alfa?? I am asking this thoughtfully! Since it influences your game a lot

[Boctupus74]

It is imperative for us as players to know how to control our emotions in the game, since it brutally influences the objective we all seek, which is to win at the table.

Beta mode: this is when you play fast, measuring the times of your opponent, without analysis of your previous plays and only taking more into account the power of your hand at the table and nothing else. Cut your response times with the call or the fold without considering many variants of an analysis that could give you clarity in the game and possible success in the preflop and post-flop. You generally lose in the vast majority of incursions of what a healthy game should be because you intoxicate it with this
Alpha State: This is a higher, calmer, more relaxed and serene state that allows you to see specific details in the past, present of the game that helps you make wise decisions or with a greater range of certainty or as close as possible to the truth in the strength of your hand and that of the opposite. This state is possible with prior preparation for concentration, meditation and focus on what we are going to and that is to play strategic poker. Where every movement and decision must be punctual based on the information that comes to you from the environment or action of the opposite. This good, clear information only comes in Alpha status and that's when it allows us to be more successful at what we love as much as poker. I hope this information will help you. Which he humbly left here.
Regards.

I don't quite use those labels. I think throughout the tournament you need to adjust your play depending on how your opponents play also. You cannot try to bluff a plater who keeps calling everybody with 4th pair. You can play aggressive against those players who fold a lot but not those who never fold. You keep looking for spots all the time.
