We all have our signs of recognizing the good and the bad player. My favorite dead tell of a fish is in cash games where they cant wait for the big blind to come to them and they post it out of position. Whats yours?

Memphis has a great post, as far as HUD stats.
- A skewed VPIP/FPR i.e. 74/16. 54/21
- A wild VPIP i.e. >40% is pretty fishy especially at micros.
- Low fold to FCbet i.e. <40%
- A distributed VPIP across positions
low fold to cbet is not a fishy tell. You can't determine if a player is fishy or not by that.
Neither is distributed VPIP across positions cause you should be tighter in some positions & looser in others
also the definition of a fish may change when you move up the stakes.
A good 5NL player might be a total fish at 50NL cause the level of play is more advanced.
Play only a small part of it
Fish = Small bankroll
Shark=Huge bankroll $100k plus.
Way to many fish think they are sharks
Yes even $100k sharks are nothing when come up against millionaire killer whalesAgree to a point.... there is a WHALE terminology lol

Thank you for the advice. I usally play right away on cash games because time is money. I didn't know I was a fish.

That makes two of us haha:hahaha:There has got to be a wide range of what makes a fish. I've been playing for over 10 year's. And the more I study the more I read both posts and articles, the more I realize I am still a fish. Not that it matters but with 10 year's of experience being a fish I would think I am at a minimum well seseasoned, a squirt of lemon and hot off the grill !
IDK if I should laugh or cry, given you usually dominate me on the tables LOLThat makes two of us haha:hahaha:
