Today was just as interesting as the previous lesson. this week we went over strategy games and some life concepts. the replacement to Hopscotch and BullRush was Chess and Poker. we learnt that by watching a game of chess you can not only learn others strategies but their personalities come out in the way they play. this concept was pointed out to us when we watched Cliff and Cody challenge each other in chess. Cody's personality was that he tried to taunt/weaken his opponent by continually talking and genuinely trying to weaken Cliffs spirit buy second guessing his moves, e.g. "was that such a good move?"Absolutely loved the next challenge. 5 class members including myself challenged each other in a Texas hold em high mini tournament. We were given chips that totaled 100 points. Initially the chips meant nothing but did when we were told that each point was a percentage mark for our final grade, e.g. if we got 60 percent in our paper and had 70 points of chips left at the end of the game then our mark would increase to 70%, but this works in reverse, so it could lower our final marks.
To be honest I wasn't the best at this game. I know the rules and how to draw a bluff etc but couldn't quite win. I went all-in in the final game to spice things up and inevitably lost that round too. not to worry the sweat and pounding heart subsided when we were told our marks were safe. what I found most interesting was the emotional involvement in the game, with the thought of loosing something of value to me.again personality was shown in game play. Jared was a quiet player but was not underestimated after taking an almighty haul of chips. his giveaway was he clenched his arm when he got a nice hand. something I didn't pick up on during game play but will try to in the future.
We finished today off with going over the concepts of:
- Fight or Flight
- Risk or Reward
we also went over reproductive simulation but this concept has left me, must have been distracted with other thoughts. ha!
