As most serious poker players, diningout it's almost always a bad thing in poker. Situations where it makes almost no sense.
Ownership of the initiative in drawing much more +EV (expected value) in almost all cases. So, if you see someone linguet, especially in late position, middle position or the small blind, no doubt is a bad player.
Some regulars will still diningout from early position, or maybe call the small blind with a speculative hand. I point this out not always. I'm looking for the players in the hand all the time, especially from the position where it will never make sense.
Bet blind out of turn
This really is another sign of a bad poker player. In fact, any regular in our time knows what to wait your turn to post the big blind.
Since poker is a game for the long haul, you can consider each session a continuation of the previous and it just does not make sense to pay more than necessary. It's the same thing and volunteer to pay your taxes twice. No one in their right mind would do that.
Some regulars can make blind being on co (CO) for the entire table, especially if they know that the table is already weak players. I myself sometimes do. But if you see someone who puts blind in ANY position – without question, this is a bad player.
To purchase a stack of at least 100ББ
Since pokerstars got rid of the ability to enter a regular cash game with 20ББ a few years ago, and play at the well known "Strategy of the Short Stacks", there is not any reason to sit at the table less than 100ББ. There are people who believe in some kind of "Strategy Medium Stacks", but, in my opinion, this is the only way to leave money on the table.
Certain strategic benefits of playing with 20ББ was before, such as the ability to rearrange those regulars that have been opened or tributyl very easily. But this is not the case when you have 40ББ, 60ББ or any other strange stack. These stack sizes require game postflop. And if you are going to play postflop, why not have the maximum possible stack?
Another more specific feature, allowing you to easily highlight bad poker players is strange baiyin containing cents. For example, buy-ins at table NL10 is $7.12. It is clear that this is all the money they have in their poker account and it shows a complete lack of attention to proper bankroll management.
So, these days I just immediately say anyone who enters into the game with less than 100ББ as a bad player.
The low amount of beta postflop
This is another pretty clear sign of a bad player. Especially when they put such values as ¼ or less of the Bank. No good player will not do, because it almost does not encourage other players to play fold, and gives good odds to call with almost any draw.
Even call 1/3 of the pot has very little applicability in a no limit cash game. Smaller beta definitely deserve attention in MTT's when the stacks are already small, but in a cash game you should be at least ½ of the pot in almost all circumstances.
Mini raises preflop and postflop
Opening with 3ББ largely the standard at the Micros these days. There are people who believe in the mini reyzing from late position, and it makes some sense. But anyone who chronically mini raises from any other position is almost always a bad player.
The same is true for mini-raises on flop. There are several arguments in favor of this, in certain cases, but I think at the Micros (especially NL2 and NL5), you should raise much larger quantities most of the time. Mini raises is just a way to leave money on the table.
Only one table
Yes, I know I said Top 5. But there is another way, which needs to be included. Most poker sites (poker rooms) give you the opportunity to search and learn what other tables a certain player plays (if any). Bad poker players more likely to play for a small number of tables, or even only one. It's not easy to play 24 tables when you cast 58% of your hands!
Conclusion
It should be noted that, immediately flagging people who play as described above, as bad players, you sometimes in the future, check out what some of them are just nits (very cautious players). This is because many regulars at the Micros will do the things described above.
Great, just change the label of a fish on the label a bad regular as soon as you notice the low number of played hands. Very few good regs will do the things described in the article, although it's good to know who is regularly bad, because we can make not bad money on them.
Finally, make notes on players good, because they are stored on your hard disk and whenever you sit down again to play, notes will be available to you. This will help to know what tables are you can choose to play, and what to avoid.
