In poker language, a fish is a bad or unskilled poker player "someone who makes so many mistakes that they are giving their cash to the game. We should note that being a fish depends on the stakes you are playing. Someone that is a lucrative poker player in the small stakes games would become a fish if they moved to the high buy-ins. This articles focuses on the lower stakes online Texas Holdem.
1 Too many Hands!
One of the biggest traits of amateur players is they play way too many beginning hands, sometimes just about each one of them! Even the most important skill difference can not make up for playing bad hands. If you see a player who is playing more than 40% of their beginning hands then take a note "this guy is nearly definitely a fish.
2 Unusual Bet Sizes!
If you see a player raise 5 or even more times the big blind pre-flop, or over bet the pot on the flop (bet more than the current pot size) then there's a robust chance they are not yet experienced in bet sizing. When you learn what each of their gambles means, their chips will soon follow!!
3 "Open Limping/Calling!
Some players open limp or flat call 3-bets before the flop and still be winners. What we are looking for here is players who do this quite a lot. Passive play alone doesn't win poker games, so anybody doing this almost every time is probably going to be a losing player. Often the same players who "call-call-call" (especially post flop) will make tiny raises when they have monster hands "tipping off opponents and failing to get paid. For more concerning how to profit from this kind of player see my article on the way to beat calling stations!
