Something Billie said in the "rate yourself" thread made me think of this which is one of my favorite subjects. I have long noticed that winners have certain attributes that help them win. What are they? Can we catalogue them and thereby strive to emulate them to our own benefit? Moreover, what determines the winner in One Pocket?
Some examples of my thoughts are:
Every great champion has been soundly defeated at one time or another and picked himself up only to come back and win. This heart of a lion defines winners.
The winner of a One Pocket match is usually the one who felt more comfortable. If I feel comfortable, I play better all the way around. My goal is to keep the opponent uncomfortable.
Adaptability is key to winning. Finding a way to win is often the only way to win. Manufacturing a new strategy right on the spot can make the difference the same way it did with Ali and Forman.
Stay in the moment.
These are some of my thoughts and I have more but let's hear some of yours.
