Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia works well for me at poker.

See, I'm always playing two hands. The one I was dealt and the one I want them to THINK I have.

Say the flop is 6-9-Q.

If I've got a 6 or 9, I'm going to bet it like I've got a Queen.

The picture I paint for them to imagine is sometimes far different from the one I'm looking at.

If I've got a Queen, I may bet it like I've got a 6 or a 9 --- especially, if a second 6 or 9 comes up. I throw in a BIG bet, and the only guy who usually calls is the one who really has it. No big deal, I've still got a Queen to work with.

Point is, they can't see the cards I don't have.
