The Average Player Many poker players today try to appear smart, or intimidating, but in truth most poker players are average, as many of you reading this are. What you should understand is that if you're playing other "average" players, then you shouldn't settle on being average yourself. Here's something to keep in mind: good poker players, who read these books but have more knowledge, play low limit to kill time, warm up, and practice. They use the odds, pot odds, and probabilities to make their moves. Sometimes they win. Most of the time they get frustrated because they have too much information. They go on tilt when they lose. Ever hear a player remark, "You stayed to the river with 6-9 unsuited and raised me?" Look for the the guy who is always talking about odds, and what the book says. Then go and do the opposite of what this player is expecting, and bang!...he's just been bitch-slapped in front of his peers. He goes sideways and leaves the table. Competition eliminated. One good habit is to know your players if you can, and then eliminate your competition. If you can beat them, send them sideways. Let the other guy make mistakes. A thing that good card players do is what makes them a winner. Knowledge of basics is a must. Knowledge of what to play is a must. Knowledge of what wins most of the time is a must. It seems Knowledge is power. Not true. In fact, sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous, so be careful.
