THE WORLD'S #1 POKER MANUAL - Card Games

Poker Book, Increasing the Edge Odds
Faster betting pace Increase betting pace without verbally expressing a desire for a faster
betting pace. Occasionally complain about the fast pace and wild
modifications.
Higher stakes Never suggest higher stakes unless chances for an increase are nearly
certain, then suggest higher stakes as a way to give losers a break or to
make the betting more equitable.
More games Never reveal activities in other games. Organize games without expressing
an eagerness to play.
b. Concealing facts(45)
The good player conceals facts to avoid arousing unfavorable suspicions, as shown in Table 19.
Facts Methods to Conceal
TABLE 19
CONCEALING FACTS
Easiness of game Never mention the poor quality of poker played in any game. Praise
"skills" of opponents, especially of poor players.
Winnings Never discuss personal winnings. After each game, report less than actual
winnings or more than actual losses. But exaggerate only to a believable
extent. Never reveal long-term winnings. Conceal affluence by driving an
old car to the game.
Tight play Fold cards without comment or excuses. Make loose-appearing or wild
plays whenever investment odds are favorable.
