Wild-card and high-low
poker increase the element
of luck so greatly that rules
for improving one's play
cannot be set down.
No sillier resolution is
uttered than "Well, I must
see it through."
To assure a night's
winnings, sit to the left of
loose bettors and to the right
of tight players.
To win consistently, you
must play tight.
High-stake games are
played by grim, salty
players.
Do not lend money. It often
comes back to break you.
The dealer has no special
advantage.
The yellowest, most
contemptible form of
cheating is welching.
The more complex the
poker variations, the less
the element of "luck"
affects the outcome.
If the pot is large and the
final bet is small, the
investment odds may
heavily favor "seeing it
through."
The good player usually
sits to the right of loose
bettors and to the left of
tight players.
To win consistently, you
must adapt to the game
pace.
High-stake games are
played by all types of
players.
The good player lends
money in order to win
more money.
The dealer has an
advantage in draw
games . . . and a large
advantage in low ball and
hold 'em games.
The welcher has lost his
money in the game before
borrowing; therefore, he
has been an asset.
