PICK ON THE WEAKLINGS

PICK ON THE WEAKLINGS

Poker is a game of skill and luck. It is also a game of aggression and passion. And at its core, it natural selection at its best. Survival of the fittest. To be a successful poker player, you must be a predator.

To be a lion at the table, you have to do what a lion does; pick on the weakling of the herd.

The nature of poker is not such that you can pick who you play against every time. However, there are many times when you can get in a hand with a player, and that is when you should look for the weakling in the heard.

At every table, there is at least one player who will give away their chips, either through timid play, sloppy play or just plain lack of knowledge. Good players will go after these weaklings whenever possible. Sometimes, you simply don’t have the cards. But if you do, you can take them down and get their chips.

This is especially important in tournament play. With additional chips, you can now go up against the better players with confidence and more chips.

The weak players at the table will sometimes get lucky and win chips; that’s a good thing. You want the weakling to have as many chips as possible, so you can get them.

Play like a lion and you will feast well at the poker table.
