The gist is that some people are able to conjure and manipulate mental images (shape rotators) and others can't and must think in words (wordcels). Being a shape rotator is supposedly associated with success in STEM fields and high net worth.
I'm interested in the applications of shape rotation or even Synesthesia as it relates to formulating poker thought. I have both; while I don't follow the traditional defintion of conflating the three senses, I think mainly using sounds which often form spacial representations of abstract shapes. For example, while experiencing a frontload of anxiety 5 years ago, I processed this geometrically as if it were a gyroscope: two rotations spinning against itself.
I cannot for the life of me explain what goes through my mind while playing through hands of poker. I hold preflop ranges in my mind implicitely, and I'm constantly making and revising estimations, but the calculus from start to finish is something I'm not able to explain. I have played around 3 million hands of poker in my life; it's in my blood, it grinded my destitution to ruble and then built me into a machine. I love it;
I owe my life to it, but it is just amazingly bizarre that I can't communicate such computation.
Readers: What goes through your mind during poker hands?
Maybe tomorrow I will become a techno-sciencio and accumulate a "high net worth".
