DISCUSSION: Very rarely is stacking chips used as a ploy by a player. Most players only
bother to act when the rewards are immediate (i.e., a pot which is still being fought for).
Glimpses of an opponent's true nature can often be gained by watching the way he stacks his
chips. The very organized manner in which these chips are arranged suggests that this player
will probably choose his hands carefully, seldomly bluff and won't display a lot of gamble.
Of course his mood may change during the game, but in that case his stacks will probably
become less neatly arranged. Notice that there are a few extra chips on top of his large stacks.
This could be his profit. That's important to know, because you can frequently bluff successfully
just by betting slightly more than his profit.
Players are reluctant to call when they're winning, but would be losing if they made an
unsuccessful call. Also, note that this fellow is very neatly attired. This is often, but not always,
an indication of conservative play.
BEST STRATEGY: Don't get involved with medium-strength hands after this man has entered
a pot. Bluff him somewhat more often than you would other players. Don't call as liberally when
he bets.
