【Plunger 的学习笔记】The Theory of Poker - David Sklansky

Plunger

Preface

Beginning poker players sometimes ask, “What do you do inthis particular situation?” There is really no correct answer to that questionbecause it’s the wrong question.

The right question is: “What do you consider in thisparticular situation before determining what to do?”

初级玩家经常会问：“在这种情况下，你应该如何做？” 对于这个问题来说，没有正确的答案，因为问题本省是错误的。

正确的问题是：在这种情况下，你需要考虑什么来决定自己要做什么。

Beyond Beginning Poker

The beauty of poker is that on the surface it is a game of utter simplicity, yet beneath the surface it is profound, rich and full of su**lety. The veneer of simplicity that deludes so many players into thinking they're good is the profitable side of the game's beauty. Losers in poker return to the table over and over again, donating their money and blaming their losses on bad luck, not bad play.

If you are an excellent player, people are going to draw out on you more than you're going to draw out on them because they're simply going to have the worst hand against you a lot more times than you have the worst hand against them. There's no way you're going to draw out on anybody if you don't get all your money in there on the worst hand.

Expert players do not rely on luck. They are at war with luck. They use their skills to minimize luck as much as possible. They figure they are getting the best of it, and they leave luck draws to their weaker opponents. Over the long run everybody gets the same proportion of good and bad cards, of winning and losing hands. Beginning poker players rely on big hands and luck draws. Expert poker players use their skills to minimize their losses on their bad hands and maximize their profits on their big hands. They also are able to judge better than others when a big hand is not the best hand and when a small hand is the best hand.

高级玩家不依靠运气，他们在与运气不断斗争。他们运用技术尽可能的减少运气带来的影响。他们永远处在优势，而将运气留给对手。长期来说，所有人得到的好牌和坏牌，获得的胜利和失败是一样的。初级玩家依靠大牌和运气。高级玩家在优势时最大化盈利，在劣势时最小化损失。他们更善于判断在什么时候大牌不是最好的牌面，或者小牌是最好的牌面。

The Object of Poker

The object of game is to make money.

4 Z8 ^0 x' d8 ?

Whatever the environment and whoever your opponentshappen to be, you must play the game tough; you must play the game to winmoney. When the cards are dealt, you are no longer a nice guy; you are aplayer.

Attempting to win every pot or too many pots is alosing proposition. The bets you save are as important as the bets you win,because your real goal is to maximize your wins and minimize your losses. Youwant the pots you win to be as big as possible and the pots you lose to containnothing more than your ante. You must remember that reducing losses – by notmaking the calls that a weaker player would make adds that much more to yourwin when the game is over.

Many players don’t follow this precept, howeverobvious it may seem. They play as though they want to win the pot, anindividual pot, at all costs. The worst of them, to put it bluntly, are thesuckers in the game. Good players develops the patience to wait for the rightsituations to play a pot and develops the discipline to release a hand hejudges to be second-best.

It is important not to chase money you havecontributed to an individual pot – it is important to realize you are notplaying individual games. Each individual game is part of one big poker game.You must think in terms of your win and the end of the year or the end of themonth.

Whether you are winning or losing on a given nightis not in itself important, and above all it must not affect your play. Youmust be disciplined enough to play every hand correctly, regardless of how youare doing. You should not allow the fact that you are winning or losing toaffect your decision to stay in or quit a game. The only criterion for playingis whether you’re a favorite in the game or an underdog. Never quit a good gameas a small winner just to ensure a winning session. Don’t continue playing in abad game just to get even. When you’re stuck, you should examine the reasonswhy you’re stuck.
