I’m not an absolute expert in human psychology, but I’m pretty observant of people. I have some formal training due to past employment in the legal field where I was certified in neurolinguistic programming and interview techniques. I have had occasion to interview many people under various circumstances and judge their reactions. One thing I have learned is that we humans have a tendency to overestimate our ability.
We all have ego, admittedly some more than others. The type of person who sticks with poker for any amount of time probably has an abundance of ego.
It’s the way we’re wired. Poker feeds our competitive spirit and our ego. This ego can easily lead to an erroneous belief that we’re better at the game than we really are.
