Gamble Gamble

 

     I was playing a No Limit Hold Em game in Costa Rica back in 2014.  The game was not high stakes, but it was a popular table.  With the player base shifting rapidly, I had a Tight-Aggressive strategy in effect.  A gentleman of Asian descent sat to my right as he was joyfully greeted by some of the game’s players.  “Gamble Gamble” he said with a smile!   The whole table could not help but get a little smile themselves.   Needless to say, this player found himself in the pot quite often.  I was patient and passed up many hands until I had the chance to play a good set-up against him.  I had position on Mr GambleGamble, and we were going to a flop.

     I flopped a straight draw, and we got a little more money in the pot.  I turned a straight and added a flush draw, and we got a little more money in the pot.  The flush did not come, but Mr GambleGamble could not call my bet on the river.  I took down a nice pot, and he exclaimed that he could not call with only two pair.  I took down a nice pot and fully maintained my Shark image while exploiting someone’s willingness to take excessive risk.

 

      Whenever I am in a trade that I am uncertain of, I like to think of Mr GambleGamble.   There are all these traders out there who are all too eager to get in a position here, and get out there.  We need to observe these players and exploit their weaknesses.   You are always better off waiting for then seizing the best opportunities in life.  Good Luck Profit.ly
