Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

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.

If you thought you could walk in and learn the game as you play the only thing that is going to happen is that you are going to go broke fast, and then you are going to hear laughter as you walk away from the table with your head down and defeated. Make sure you know all the inns and outs of the game before coming to play in the casino. At home on the computer online playing against computer opponents is the best way to start, then eventually join a weekly texas holdem game with friends then go online and play fro real money before going near a casino poker room.

Looking like you belong in a texas holdem poker room is very important and so is sounding like you belong. If you were in Russia and you walked up to someone to get directions you would instantly be recognized as a foreigner because of the way you speak. Well Texas Holdem has a language of its own and if you don’t speak it like a native you are going to stand out as a newbie. If you do a web search for Texas Holdem Poker expressions you will find many websites that offer you all of the most commonly used expressions and what their definitions.

I am sure most of us have seen texas holdem on ESPN television and have sent he way to professional poker players dress. Many of them are wearing clothes will advertisements for poker related items. These players are being paid to advertise these items because of their high likelihood of being put on the TV. Some players wear disguises to try and hide their faces from the other players by wearing hats and glasses to hide their eyes. These players know that a small slip up can cost them the chance at winning the million dollar prize, so to make sure they do nt give up any information to another player they try to hide their faces. You are not playing in the big leagues so to try these things will just make you look stupid since everyone will know you are not a professional player by the fact they do not recognize you. This will then make you stand out and risk you being marked as an inexperienced player or “The Fish”.

Every player at a texas holdem poker table that spots you as the fish will then begin to focus on you till they find your tells, and believe me we all have them. It is just experience that allows some of us to hide them better then others.
