Poker Book, Hypnosis<br />

To extract maximum money, the good player often decreases his winning rate in order to control the<br />

flow of money. In other words, maximum-money extraction over the long term may require a slower<br />

winning rate.<br />

2. Uncontrolled Money Flow(92)<br />

Over a period of many games, uncontrolled money flows in a pattern similar to that illustrated by the top<br />

diagram on the Money-Flow Pattern chart shown after Table 26. As the good player accumulates<br />

performance data on each player, these money-movement patterns become increasingly obvious.<br />

Data for uncontrolled money flow are tabulated in Table 26. Notice the heavy losses absorbed by poor<br />

players A and B compared to players C and D. In that game, the good player, E, is extracting winnings<br />

through a natural, uncontrolled money flow. But poor player A may quit, for example, because<br />

continuous losses hurt his pride. And poor player B may insist on lower stakes because his sharp losses<br />

are causing him financial problems. The good player may be risking his future earnings unless he alters<br />

the money flow to a controlled pattern similar to that illustrated by the bottom diagram of that Money-<br />

Flow Pattern chart.<br />
