Pointless Arguments

As I stated in my first blog, I have only one purpose: To help you to understand and apply poker psychology.

Some people clearly want to start pointless arguments. I won’t argue pointlessly, but I do welcome disagreements about my advice.

My first blog said, “If you can improve my advice, do it. Psychology is not an exact science, and I will certainly make mistakes or give incomplete answers. My goal is to help you, and the wider the discussion becomes, the more everyone (including me) will learn.”

Learning is the critical issue. If we respectfully and dispassionately disagree about how to solve psychological problems, everyone learns. If we argue about Stu Ungar’s abilities, my credibility, or my arrogance, nobody learns anything.

If you want such arguments, there are many places you can find them. This blog is, I believe, the only place that provides a psychologist’s answers to your poker psychology questions.

In other words, if you want to disagree with me about poker psychology, please go ahead. I will take your positions seriously and may even say, “I was wrong.” or “Thank you for adding a point I missed.”

But, if you want to start pointless arguments, please go away.
