In texas holdem poker the term Fish is used to describe the weakest and least experienced player at the table. You never ever want to be the fish. It is commonly said that if you look around the table and you can not see the fish you are in his seat.

To avoid being instantly marked as the fish make sure not only appear as if this is not your first time in a texas holdem poker room in a casino but that you are there often. Make sure no matter how impressed by the place you are, you appear as if this is just another day playing texas holdem in the casino. If your skills at texas holdem will not allow you to go unnoticed then pick another game like roulette or blackjack.

Be prepared, this is not your Friday night card game with the boys. This is not a sit down tell some dirty stories and have a laugh game. The casino Texas Holdem games are taken very seriously. These players come to play a serious game and win some serious money, and the last thing they want is a fish at their table ruining their game. If you are not a very strong player then maybe you should avoid the Texas Holdem table and try some 3 card poker or something easier like roulette. Only once you are sure your skills are strong should you try to sit and play in the casino.

If you were a spy trying to infiltrate into Russia during the cold war the CIA would have you trained on how to speak Russian and the proper idioms and accent as well so that you blend is as a local, well texas holdem has its own language as well and if you want to blend in as an experienced player you have to know the language as a native speaker. This means understanding what others are saying and being able to use the common expressions correctly in normal conversation. Not laughing at a joke because you did not understand it will make you stand out and some people are bound to notice and figure out you are not all you seem to be.

I am sure most of us have seen texas holdem on ESPN television and have sent he way to professional poker players dress. Many of them are wearing clothes will advertisements for poker related items. These players are being paid to advertise these items because of their high likelihood of being put on the TV. Some players wear disguises to try and hide their faces from the other players by wearing hats and glasses to hide their eyes. These players know that a small slip up can cost them the chance at winning the million dollar prize, so to make sure they do nt give up any information to another player they try to hide their faces. You are not playing in the big leagues so to try these things will just make you look stupid since everyone will know you are not a professional player by the fact they do not recognize you. This will then make you stand out and risk you being marked as an inexperienced player or "The Fish".

The reason it is best for you to not let others now you are new to the texas holdem poker room in a casino is so that they will not be focused on you. If they know you are new they are going to be testing you on every hand till they all know all your tells and believe me you have plenty of them even the best players have then it is only thru years of experience they have managed to hid them.
