by Degenerated
Why must we lose? Because we will never stick to the game plan. At
many
points in a session the Degenrate Chaser will always give up any skill
advantage he has over the other players by doing something irrational
and
emotion based. When we win we gamble more. When we are stuck we gamble
more.
A degenrate chaser is never better than during his first hand when all
of
the things he promised he would do are fresh in his mind. Thats assuming
he
is not bring the last losing session or sesions to the table with him.
Then
he is a loser before he even sits down.
Is there anything we can do about it?
No. A degenerate always returns to his nature. All player return to
their
nature (TJ Cloutier has said this). A tight player can go into a game
with a
strategy to play looser but before long he is back where he is comfortable.
What is the nature of a degenerate chaser? Not making the good laydowns
because he hopes beyond hope that his opponent is bluffing or over valueing
their hand. Dan Harrington says most bets means just what they look
like
they mean. People put money in the pot because they like their hand.
Especially against a degenerate chaser who will take the worst of it
everytime.
My advice is to quit playing all together but I know you will not.
For the
same reason I will not. Like Cully Cross from "Fools Die"
said, degenerate
gambling is like malaria. It will always pop back up eventually.
