6. We're talking real poker here, not video poker, so remember you're not trying to impress the change lady by getting the highest hand. Your goal is to be holding a better hand than your opponents. When everyone else is frightened off by your superior play, the pot is yours.If you check earlier posts, you will find a discussion of the genius that invented gambling chips. This rule is an extension of that discussion. Never lose sight of the fact that you are playing for real money. Not clay chips or electronic blips. The players I look for are the ones that play for clay and not for cash.
Your game is to play superior hands, bet when you are ahead and only call if you are chasing the nuts...and even then, only if the pot odds dictate. Don't be afraid of your image if you toss a losing hand away. It actually may give you a tighter image that will alow you to buy a pot later.
