How do you personally spot good or bad players?
Posted by Sky_Poker

Any player whose screen name is based on the letters RICHORFORD is, according to Tikay, useless.

Spotting the good players is easy, once I've been sat at the table for 20 minutes they are usually the ones with all my chips.

How do you know what someone is like? Watch what they're like lol

I think they meant what tendencies.

Imo...

Open limping

Limp/calling often

C/f too many flops (just playing fit or fold)

In MTTs, still 3x'ing when stacks are <40xBB

lots more but will let others join in

People who comment on others play.

Usually its self hatred. You know when someone says they HATE benifts cheats / homosexuals / bullies and wont shut up about it? Its usually because they have their own scams/ have experimented in their youth /  were horrendous bullies and are protecting their own self worth by criticising in others what they dislike about themselves. 

So if you get called a bingo player, you can guarentee they'll be limp/calling-off T6o for 12bb

If you get called a nit, dont bother calling off their 3bets as they will always be nutted

And if you get callled a donk, rematch as often as you can.

what was this thread on about again

memfno

people who are of the opinion that poker isn't gambling. they must be bad because they don't even realise that placing a bet in the expectation/hope of a particular outcome is the very definition of gambling.

Are casino owners gamblers?

All insurance is basically gambling.  Life insurance is gambling that you will die.  If you die, you win and someone else gets the money!

Cenachav, with life insurance you are betting on a certainty, its not gambling, cus eventually life insurance pays out on all customers!

I believe his point is that casino owners 'gamble' everytime they let someone place a bet on roulette/blackjack etc but they do it knowing they will win long term (much the same as winning poker players).
