Thanks for checking out this weeks tips

I would like to first clarify exactly what a fish is, or
what the general consensus seems to be.

Typical example of a " FISH " is one that loves to chase hands. Will even fish all the way to the river and in most cases has jack squat in his hand. Chaser and RiverRats are also among the other commonly know names that apply.

The FISH who is in every hand it seems and will catch the river card for what should have never been a hand to begin with. This happens all the time with their 27 off suit and drives some players nuts, especially when they had the nuts with pocket aces right up till the river.

Personally I have no problem with fish. Every room has one. In fact, I love fish. They are my bread and butter so to speak. If any of you have played with me at a table you know what I am talking about.

My style of play is to weed out the fish right away. First thing I do before the game even starts is give a good luck to the entire room, and then I also say
" Oh Ya, Fish and RiverRats too "
Why I do this is very simple. It is my style of play. It does not always work but on occasion the fish will make himself known right away. No, not by a big hello its me over here, but with some quick retort or reply.

Any response is exactly what I look for. This gives me an edge and in poker any edge gives you the upper hand. I come across as a bully and loudmouth but that is not really who I am. That is just my style! and that is really what this week tip is all about more than the poor little fish, that loves to chase.

With this style of play I find him quicker, use this against him and get the upper hand. Can put him in tilt mode and have many other great advantage with this style of play.

Whether you are a fish, a chaser of what ever the current term may be it does not matter. It is just a style of play. Not a very good one and most common to new players. The most important part of the game I believe is to formulate a style. Try several different ones until you find one that you like and works for you, or formulate your very own like I have.

Just stick with one and no matter what your style is, you will see your game dramatically improve.

Extra Fish Tip. If you don't want to get bitten by the fish. Don't go in any hands with them unless you got the nuts... Or just leave em to me.. o)

Thanks again for stopping by and check back soon for our new tips on TILT players.

Good Luck and I will see you FISH at the tables
