How Appearing Confident can save you Money in a Poker Room

By: Stacy Maxgate

The fish is a poker term for the player who is going to be easiest to take money from. It is said that if you can not spot the fish at your table then you are the fish.

To avoid being instantly marked as the fish make sure not only appear as if this is not your first time in a texas holdem poker room in a casino but that you are there often. Make sure no matter how impressed by the place you are, you appear as if this is just another day playing texas holdem in the casino. If your skills at texas holdem will not allow you to go unnoticed then pick another game like roulette or blackjack.

Be prepared, this is not your Friday night card game with the boys. This is not a sit down tell some dirty stories and have a laugh game. The casino Texas Holdem games are taken very seriously. These players come to play a serious game and win some serious money, and the last thing they want is a fish at their table ruining their game. If you are not a very strong player then maybe you should avoid the Texas Holdem table and try some 3 card poker or something easier like roulette. Only once you are sure your skills are strong should you try to sit and play in the casino.

It is very important to blend in well at the table you are playing at. Texas Holdem has a language of its own, and if you want to be taken serious you are going to have to learn the lingo. There are many online sources that will explain all the Texas Holdem expressions, but to know them is not enough you have to make it seem natural for you to be using them. You have to truly understand how they are used so that you understand all the jokes and comments made. If you don’t laugh at the right time or laugh at the wrong time the jig will be up and you will be marked as the fish.

Do not under any circumstances come to the casino to play Texas Holdem dressed like the players you see playing in tournaments you see on television. Many of these players are pros and are sponsored and that is why everything they wear says something about Texas Holdem and poker. If you wear this stuff and no one knows who you are everyone will know you are just some fool beginner trying to look cool, but if you have real poker skills this can be an advantage to you everyone will expect you to be the fish and they will all underestimate you, giving you a big advantage.

The reason it is best for you to not let others now you are new to the texas holdem poker room in a casino is so that they will not be focused on you. If they know you are new they are going to be testing you on every hand till they all know all your tells and believe me you have plenty of them even the best players have then it is only thru years of experience they have managed to hid them.
