Daily Hold em Tips

It gets pretty boring at a poker table some times, and when that boredom kicks in, you have to keep one thing in mind before you start chatting idly to the player next to you:

In poker, your friends are your enemies.

Ok, it’s not that you have to hate everyone at the table every second of the game.  That’s not what I’m trying to say.  What I am trying to do is to make a point: the person you’re about to be striking up that friendly conversation with could be, in just a few seconds, the person you’re trying to bluff out of their socks.

The person that you’re chatting to about how you would have played a hand may be the very person who you’re in a similar situation with just minutes later, and now you’ve given them important insight into your tendencies and tactics.

Making friends at the table is fine.  What’s important to remember is that the people at the table you choose to befriend won’t necessarily fit into that role the entire game.  Remember, choose your friends carefully, and what you disclose to them even moreso.
