Some unconventional ways to identify loosing players
From my limited experience playing poker, I found out that some loosing players do something that winning players don't do. (By the way, just because people don't do the followings does NOT mean they are winning players.)
*When they peek cards, they don't bend but lift up, so that the cards are perpendicular to the table. *Thier favorite hand is NOT AA. *They stack less than 20 chips per stack. *When they raise, they say "I raise." *They wear poker cap/clothe (there might be some exception to this rule.) Soh |

Re: Some unconventional ways to identify loosing players
Interesting observations though kind of fancy for me. I always use the tried and true method;
1)If they have less money than they started with they are losers. 2)If they do this consistently they are losers with an outside source of income. 3)If they believe they can tell how I play by how I hold my cards, my attire or by verbal cues such as "I raise", they are, well inexperienced and likely to be losers for at least a short while longer.

Re: They mispell losing...loosing
I expect it was hypocrisy and not irony that led you to misspell "mispell" in your criticism.

Re: Some unconventional ways to identify loosing players
I always say "I raise" just because I've gotten my raise disqualified so many times by all of the rules (not putting the chips in in one motion, putting in a larger chip denomination, etc.). I don't think there are too many players who are going to be able to decipher my voice intonations. There are lots of good players who talk constantly.

And one more thing...
My favorite hand is dependent on the game. In a reasonably tight game, AA is the best. But in a very loose 10-handed game, there are other hands that have a higher EV (JTs for example). Oops, I brought up the dreaded JTs discussion again, sorry. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Some unconventional ways to identify loosing players
OK, let's see how I do...
*When they peek cards, they don't bend but lift up, so that the cards are perpendicular to the table. I bend, phew. Not a loser so far. *Thier favorite hand is NOT AA. My favorite hand is AA. Yes! *They stack less than 20 chips per stack. I usually stack 20 per stack. But sometimes I stack randomly and have stacks less than 20. But usually 20. Still looking good. *They wear poker cap/clothe (there might be some exception to this rule.) Dammit. Sometimes I wear a cap. Danger. *When they raise, they say "I raise." OK, I'm definitely a losing player. I often say "I raise" when I raise. Sometimes I say "2-bet" or "3-bet." Sometimes I say "Two" or "Three." Or "Re-raise." Or "Again." Or "Boom-boom-boom." Or "Make it three." But usually, "You raised ME? You must be insane. RAISE!" |

Re: Some unconventional ways to identify loosing players
1. When everyone at the table cheers, "NORM!" (or another name) when the player arrives.
2. When they try to pick up every cocktail waitress in the room. And tip $5 for a beer. 3. When they consistently don't protect their cards. |
