LIVING WITH UNCERTAINTY

WAYS FORWARD

INCOMPLETE INFORMATION

Nature of the Beast

  • Constantly making judgements with incomplete info
  • Doesn't matter if we are correct right now
  • What matters is how often we are correct long-term
  • This leads to numerous unforced errors
  • Adjusting too soon - for the wrong reasons
  • Making good assumptions about what is likely
  • Making good assumptions about opponent's thought process
  • Opponents' assumptions
  • Mirroring in Poker
  • The tension of not knowing
  • Parallels with Life

REACTIONS TO UNCERTAINTY

Unforced Errors

  • The fact of uncertainty is not a problem
  • Our response to uncertainty is the problem
  • Examples:
  • Curiosity calls ("I knew he had it!")
  • Spite calls (which generally just spite ourselves more than anyone)
  • Self-sabotage in Poker
  • Desire for "justice", feeling that we are due
  • Levelling ourselves
  • Over-focusing on one part of a villain's range
  • Clicking too fast
  • "Over it" clicking

Learning to Trust Our Instincts

  • Instincts are vital in Poker
  • Yet they can lead us astray
  • I believe we can learn to improve them
  • Partly a matter of experience
  • Partly a matter of self-awareness
  • The qualitative difference between insight and delusion
  • Deep focus zone
  • Trusting ourselves to pick up information
  • Avoiding wishful thinking
  • How does it really feel?
