I have noticed a lot of new poker players getting all stoked up ready to show the moves they witnessed after watching the final table action on tv.At the table table you hear I saw that on tv last night.They fail to notice this is inflection point play with some players with only 15 hands left before they are blinded out. So the move you see dont always work the way you see it onm your local tables. For instance 6 handed a player in 4th position with chips 5 times the big blind with go all in with

River

Player looses on river to

. Slowplaying with a short stack and bottom two pair with a flush draw out there is a bad move. Go all in right away to get it down to heads up or 3 handed.
