Adjusting to a new table
Saturday, November 29, 2008 - P0ker H0
Im going to talk a little bit about something I think most players struggle with, and that is adjusting to a new table when getting moved in Live poker. In Live poker the game is a little slower and it takes a little longer to get used to your table. Aside from sitting there and watching everyhand and player there is something I like to do. I like to examine everyones stack and see what stacks have the most 25 chips in them. Why you might ask? well the person with the most 25 chips is probably the one who is stealing blinds the most. We know this because when antes kick in there are always at least an extra 9 “25″ chips in the pot. We can use this information to assume that whoever has a stack full of greens, has either been very active, or very lucky. Also when I steal pots, I like to keep my 25 chips and stack them high. It gives the illusion of a much bigger stack than it seems, and this can steer people away from getting involved when you dont want them to.
Next time you play live, try this and watch how quick you will know who is aggressive and who is not.
