The post Inertia is the enemy first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]> Poker pro and two-time U.S. Women’s Chess Champion and Woman Grandmaster  Jennifer Shahade hosts a popular strategy-based podcast called “The GRID“. In an Nov. 26, 2019 article in PokerNews, she says poker has taught her “to remain aware of those moments when she is just coasting by, or not taking enough risk”. “I now look for signs of inertia in all aspects of my life, from preflop strategy to negotiating to fundraising.”

If you play poker, can you talk about the hand from the other perspective ?

In the article, she covers a few things we’ve known for years, such as anchoring, avoiding zeros and even numbers (at salary negotiations, for example).

” Applying this idea to poker, value bets use precise sizes, while more splashy round numbers are used for bluffing (when still at level one of a leveling war, that is — at level two, the opposite could apply). I look out for this one at live tourneys, even when my only read is that my opponent is so annoying he bet 5,075 when I have no green chips.”

Jennifer Shahade

Shahade concludes her article with something I’ve said for many, many years: “too few risks is the biggest risk of all.“
