In this thread I want to know what you concider is your best poker ability, I dont want to know like hey im best at tourneys or cash games what I want to know is what you concider is your best ability that makes you good at this game.


ok I will start I feel im best at changing gears, in tourneys and cash games. I have the ability to play the same hand a million different ways so that you have no clue what I have. Now this can also get people in trouble because being able to limp with aces you also have to have the ability to fold them on the flop if the flop is rags.

I can limp with premiem hands or I can raise big with them you just never know with me. Being able to do this is a big plus when you get to a tight table where you can just push around the table and have people wondering what the hell this guy has. Also I talk alot at the table and half time lie about hands and half time im telling the truth?!?!? you just never know with me.

Well thats me so what is yours?

my best ability is continuation bluffing on all three streets with my AK high, and getting called each time.

serious answers only there eejit, thats not a good ability there. Obviously once you are called on flop you have to slow down unless a scare card for the board comes on turn.


people overplay AK all the time and dont realize it is basicly a drawing hand.

When I play hold 'em, I'm good at raising when I have AA and other good hands, like KK.

Being able to throw away and AK at times. Like when there is a nothing but little cards on the flop and everyone is betting. Most of the time I'm right to do so.

Patience. As long as I have enough chips, I can wait a long time, even after a bad beat. Unfortunately, I often get my money in with the best hand and still end up being bubbleboy...

id consider my greatest ability to be bluffing. I may raise preflop with a total blank and i can win a pot even with over cards on the board.

My best ability is winding players up, i have a long list of people on my buddy list that want to play me because i have wound them up by beating them with bad hands. They will play me again and play almost anything for the chance to do the same to me. Needless to say this makes beating them a lot easier.
