You are using this word very incorrectly. Metagame basically means "beyond the hand", your optimizing your strategy for not just this hand but for all hands as a whole. So like you might make a bluff that is slightly unprofitable in a vacuum if you know it will cause your opponents to give you excessive action in the future.

I think Shower thoughts needs it's own thread in the views forum. Complete with visual aids and soap. But I thought the Meta Game was the game outside of poker, and it's probably always metamorphosing.

Uh, no.


Metagame is often referred to as the “game within the game”, where you make a play or decision that has been influenced by external knowledge rather than based on fundamental strategy alone. To put it another way, every time you make a play that goes against (or ignores) basic mathematical strategy in poker, chances are that you are utilizing meta game strategy.

So as long as you have good meta, you dont need to be good at the pokerz to be successful?

Is that it ?

Imo there is a perfect way to play poker that will result in making 0 mistakes (which nobody has figured out how to do and is what I mean by understanding the game).

We have developed solutions to some spots in which we deem "standard" because we believe at this time that this is the best way to make the least mistakes and the most money. Those who understand our current concepts of "standard" spots make a good, consistent winrate because they understand the meta better than their opponents. This doesn't mean they understand the game enough to make 0 mistakes and these "standard" spots that they know better than others may not be the most optimal options.
there is no way of making zero mistakes. that's like saying a golfer can shoot 18 under par. not possible

OP use metagame as in league of legends and recent strats video games where the term means : current most popular strategy.
hate to use that term for poker.
prefer the good old meaning of metagame as explained above,game above the game aka exploiting. (as in chess metagame)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacognition

Metacognition is defined as "cognition about cognition", or "knowing about knowing". It comes from the root word "meta", meaning beyond.[1] It can take many forms; it includes knowledge about when and how to use particular strategies for learning or for problem solving.[1] There are generally two components of metacognition: knowledge about cognition, and regulation of cognition.[2]
