Ebb and Flow

Poker is a game of ebb and flow. Any one poker situation can be argued for more than one correct answer, there are times when the correct move is apparent to all but there could be an argument against it, I have seen many a muppet argue the fact that calling a raise and a re raise all in with 57s pre flop is perfectly acceptable because "you never know what will come on the flop".

I constantly see people discussing on forums about correct implied odds and +EV plays. I understand the concepts behind these mathematical decisions and I realize that it is correct to play in a straight forward no nonsense way. Don't get me wrong using the basic math skills I have to outplay all the muppets is the main source of my winnings but I believe that if you play poker solely by the numbers you will eventually be a loser, not in a profitable sense but in an emotional enjoyment sense.

Poker is a game of minds and wits, it is a game were each and every strategical decision is full of subtle yet important aspects which may nudge the decision in either direction, these positions are the ones I love being in and even more I love analyzing them after the fact. Trying to find the perfect solution is what drives my game, its why I love playing and when you believe you have found it it is the greatest feeling.
