Tracking the Table Trend
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2012 1:42 pm
Ah, alliteration... But a serious discussion, I hope.
In an MP article I read recently, he discussed the benefits of being able to tell when a table is trending a new direction, or at least away from what you are currenty betting/playing for.
Granted, this most often comes up in discussions of betting on RRs, but I would propose that the majority of players - even on this board - find themselves betting on RRs. Even MP has admitted to doing as much! So I believe this topic can be beneficial for many.
What I am asking is what each of you would look for, or identify, as an indicator to a specific trend type. Because I would advance the idea that in most cases you don't get much of a warning.
In MPs article he gave percentages (which I cannot recall to quote here) of how often a table is trending a certain way; however, it might also be said that there are instances where a trend might only last for a single shooter!
I don't have my own answers, at this point, as I've not explored this subject. But I am truly interested in hearing other people's thoughts.
Thanks.
