The best way to check out of the fish zone is to know the top-20 hole cards for a No Limit Texas Hold'em game. Fish can easily be identified by making an incorrect play with respect to the hole cards and table position. From bad starting hole cards to playing too many hands to unusual bet sizing, a fish can make the night for a poker professional.
(See: Darren Rovell's first game at 888poker.)Ī fish is a derogatory term for player who has no clue how to play the game. Based on my personal experiences on a riverboat in Missouri to a Genting card room in the UK, there is always a fish at the table.
