As per MBB's comment on my last post, I have found that increasing post-flop aggression has forced me to become more aware of player profiles. I've been aware that my post flop passivity has been a problem for some time. HEM just presented it in a format that I could no longer ignore.
Coincidentally, I was reminded of the maths of Paper, Scissors, Rock over the weekend and revisited a strategy site. The parallels with poker are amazing. I completed a Player Profile Survey and would be very interested to see if all aspirational bloggers are from a similar mould. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to add your Profile as a comment.
Apparently, my Spiritual Player Profile is as follows ... "You trust your emotions. When competing, you focus on your own game seeking inspiration from within and rely on inner harmony to select your throws. Winning or losing is not the primary focus of your game. Instead you focus upon playing the right throw for any given situation, regardless of your opponents actions. The Spiritual player can usually benefit greatly from strategies that rely upon proper form and technique (such as Cloaking and Shadowing). The downfall of the Spiritual Player comes from being so inwardly focused that you fail to recognise an opponents obvious mistakes."
Not too far off. Strategy for little old Scissors, Paper, Rock, eh? Who would have thought.

i was 'logical'
Yip ... that figures.
I haven't found out how to see what Logical is ... did it seem to match up with your Poker style? Was disciplined in there?
Spiritual... the questions are mental but I liked the summary
Sound reasoning is the hallmark of the logical player. You have a knack for concentrating on the task at hand and the discipline to follow your vision to the end. Structured gambit play is an excellent way to plan your throws ahead of time. Counting your opponent's throws cmbined with pattern detection and avoidance strategies are solid choices for this type of player. However, strict adherence to pre-set strategies can leave you vulnerable to players with a more adaptive strategy
A strong correlation with successful grinding, thanks for submitting the text.
I wonder what questions you answered differently? :-) Only joking.
