Any poker players here?
Some typings I've seen:
Phil Ivey (probably the best player overall atm): ISTP, sometimes INTP
Negreanu: ENxP
Matusow: ESTP
Hellmuth: ExTJ
In my opinion:
Phil Galfond ("OMGClayAiken"): INTP
Tom Dwan ("Durrrrr"): ENTP?
Some thoughts about functions:
Ti: probably the most useful function for poker. In my opinion Ti-users are inclined to improving their own playing style (their system), and also the system of reading other peoples hands, and altering their play accordingly etc.
Ni: probably good for thinking of new concepts, improving one's playing style.
Ne, Se: good for reading betting patterns, playing style and opponents' tells in live games.
Te: Probably quite similar than Ti when it comes to poker. Might be more inclined to specific situations and hands than long-term "perfected" systems thinking.
So what do you think are the best-fit types for poker?
How do different functions, and their strength, manifest in poker skills and playing style?
Types of popular poker players?
There was a poker thread in the archives, but it was mostly about Phil Hellmuth.
