Shut up
Playing in tournaments, I used to be so paranoid that I would be sen as a newbie player and I was totally insecure about how inexperienced I looked with how I layed. As I’ve gotten more comfortable with plaing in tournaments, I’ve come to notice that it inst’ always how you play that makes people notice how inexperienced you are. -it’s your table manner. Being chatty at a poker table is a great way to let everyone know that you’re the easy money.
I just played at a table of regulars at a local online poker house, and I knew about half of the people at the table. After a bit of welcome chatter, we started playing, Once the cards were dealt, only one voice kept up-some new guy wouldn’t stop talking about God knows what, and it quickly became obvious who’d be donating his money to the pot.
Don’t broadcast your ignorance by talking too much. Pay attention to any poker online table and you can always pick out the new guy, because he just won’t shut up. It can be construed as a sign of nervousness, but for experienced players, it’s a sign of inattention. If you’re talking, you’re probably not watching the action, and your opponents will pick up on it.
