Playstyle analysis of members

For those of you who've read my playstyles article, and would like clarification as to what they are, please post here. Also if you'd like clarification in general.

If I'm not 100% sure, I'll be honest with you.

What Kassy said^

Kassy - not 100% sure yet where you fall on the 4 point scale. You seem VERY defensive to me though, to the point of missing wins for ties.

Feuer - pretty sure you're moderately defensive + slightly initiative.

because i still get scared of open games! what should i do?

Keep playing open. Open is nothing to be afraid of.

It does take a decent amount of practice to get good at it, and nearly all players will start playing defensively when they first start learning. Defensive isn't a bad thing. Many good players will still tend towards defense even after gaining skill.

We have discussed a quite a bit of this already and we agree that I am initiative player, but I would like to know have you found some odd quirks or habits in my play be they strengths or weaknesses~

As said I'm more interested more interested of details than on of the big picture.

A few odd quirks specific to initiative players:

1. Better early game than late game - Somewhere around turns 5-8 are the most frequent times to screw up unless you have the calculation speed to cover them.

2. Intuition better on first turn than second - Because you're extreme end initiative, this difference is exaggerated.

3. Hands center around starters as opposed to "just working together"

A few odd quirks that aren't playstyle specific (but have an effect on it):

1. Card preference towards "balanced" cards instead of "power" cards (or a mix of both) - Examples on lv 7:

Balanced = 7765, 7665, 7764; Power = 8764, 7755, 8853

2. "Lateral" thinking as opposed to "depth" - Even though this mostly follows the playstyle differences, it doesn't fully. In other words, seeing 1-2 moves ahead of several options instead of 1 option to the end. (something like 80% of initiative players are like this)

3. As far as I could tell, you pick weak cards before strong cards in cross level games. This combined with playstyle similarities and a preference towards balanced cards makes your hands closer to mine than any other player.

4. Calculation speed = approximately 7, which is about average. Combined with playstyle, you'll likely make most of your mistakes on 5th and 6th turns until your calculation speed increases.

i can't possibly calculate past the 3rd turn

Oh, I'm counting backward from the end of the game. It's easier to see 3 moves ahead when there are only 3 cards left to play than when there's 9...
