Few More Poker Psychology
The Bragger:
Has the Wife/Girlfriend/Friend just popped along and asked how they’re doing? Surely they’re going to want to see an impressive show…. Bring on the showing off! Again you’ll potentially see more aggressive play from him with not necessarily the best hand! Also keep an eye out to see if this player shows his hole cards to his partner. If he does, he’s either got the stone cold nuts or on a complete bluff. Think about it – would YOUR other half be impressed by your 13 outs and implied odds? No, I didn’t think so. Clearly this guy is playing a Hollywood hand. Watch the partners face carefully as she won’t be able to resist reacting to what she sees.
