Guest Post - Julius Goat - Focus
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
Our boy Julius Goat is back with another hilarious guest post. After presenting us with a few chapters of his highly acclaimed Stupid/System, he brings us his unique way of concentrating his focus while playing the big guarantee MTT’s and making your bets.
I’ve never employed this strategy but I’m pretty sure the “Moonwalking Bear” move is something even your top pros would never see coming. I’m still finding it tough to believe that Julius_Goat has never won a MTT in his career after reading his post. There is plenty more after the jump.
Sharpening your focus or How the Moonwalking Bear improved my game
by Julius Goat
You know how it is. You’re playing a long tournament, and your mind is wandering. You have the latest South Park open (hilarious). Every so often, the poker client screen flickers to the front and you make a quick decision, based on increasingly limited information. Fold. Fold. Call, fold. Cartman. Raise. Fold. Do you know who is aggressive at your table? Who is tight? What does it matter? You’ve been here before. If you get a nice size stack, you’ll pay attention. But for some reason, you just haven’t been getting that big stack lately . . .
That’s right. You’ve lost focus.
I’ve been trying something lately. It’s been helping. The results have been good, but results in MTT are deceptive. No, it’s been helping my mindset. Perhaps it will help yours, as well. One can only hope, and, after all, I’m here to help.
I have the recipe for you now. Here’s what you do.
Ready?

Julius Goat takes a break from his best selling Stupid/System to bring us his thoughts on the always fun bad beast.

OK, I’ll take a one-week break from Stupid/System, and instead bring you my sincere, unvarnished thoughts on poker. What that means, essentially is this: Like Stupid/System, this is a post that displays a shocking and laughable lack of understanding of poker, but unlike Stupid/System, it is not on purpose. Get ready to stop laughing with me, and start laughing AT me.

Julius_Goat brings us Chapter 10 of his critically acclaimed poker book. Critically acclaimed by me, but my opinion is the only one that matters. This chapter of Stupid/System deals with hand ranges and bet sizing.
