We have all seem situations like this one: A raise and 2 calls before the flop of A-Q-9 (with 2 hearts), a raise and call on the flop and another on the 10 turn, the money goes in on the river with a straight or a flush taking the huge pot… and the unfortunate player who just gave away his 100 big blind stack quietly mucking his Ace-4 off suit.

It is easy to imagine how profitable poker would be if only we could play with this guy all the time.

Be honest here – how many players like this one have you seen come and go without making an effort to keep track of them? 10’s at least… if you have been playing for any length of time this could even reach the 100’s.

Poker is a game of exploiting bad opponents – over time we will all be dealt the same amount of good hands and bad. If you are serious about making money at the poker tables then why not make an effort to keep track of the worst opponents and actively seek them out when you next log on.

 

Poker EdgeMany online poker sites provide ‘buddy list’ features which will allow you to do this. If not then all you need is a spreadsheet or text program to note their name – every poker site will allow you to search for opponents from their lobby. Remember also that you should take notes on why you tracked a player, there is a big difference between a prolific bluffer and a loose-passive calling station after all!

Tracking the fish is just one of several skills which profitable poker players use in addition to their play of the cards. These include employing Texas Holdem Table Selection skills, and actively seeking the weakest opponents at the Best Texas Holdem Poker Sites – make sure that you do not get left behind.
