Summary

Skilled players are tight, aggressive and adaptive.

Never play at a table with more than two skilled players--they cut down on your profit.

The best news about skilled players is many play multiple tables at one time, so they play more poorly than they might. That or they play at higher stakes than most less-skilled players.

Be selective, bet your good hands hard, and learn to read and play your opponents...that is the way of the skilled player.

Ways to Improve

Poker is a game of learning from one experiences. Every skilled player needs to play and analyze that play. Only through thought and analysis can one improve.

These things are true for all players, even the best in the world:

Never accept 'the common wisdom"--a correct poker play revolves around an interaction of 'fuzzy' factors. It is not a science, it is an art. Practice that art every day and don't wait for a string of bad beats to make you think about your game.

Also don't stop reading books (even if they throw you off your game for a while). Thinking about poker and talking about poker is the key to winning poker.

Finally, learn how to play your opponents. Even "top" poker pros making huge mistakes versus bad amateurs on television because they fail to adapt. Every opponent has something you need to learn-- the best way to take their money!
