The Net’s Most Wanteds

Keep Your Advice to Yourself At the poker casinos that I play at, both brick and mortar and poker online, everyone seems to think that they are an expert. Normally I do not mind their delusions of grandeur. In some cases I even encourage them to make their downfall all that much better. While this is counts as entertainment when the deck runs cold, I feel like I have a responsibility to point out to new players those qualities that make these purported experts so imminently mockable. First of all, people who think that they are experts on poker tend to want to share their opinion. Sometimes this is only slightly annoying, such as when you are trying to each lunch or just relax. At other times it is infuriating, such as when a railbird actual talks during an active hand. What makes these players is not that they know so much about poker, but that they can’t seem to keep this information to themselves. They have never learned how to keep their advice to themselves. They share it with me, often against my will. As a result, I have the last laugh. Not only do I learn about potential errors in my game, I learn about all of their favorite strategies.
