I’ve noticed that the average player:

[MattRyder]

Won’t bet much with top pair but will call just about any amount.

What have you noticed?

 

[DiegoRamos]

Curious Matt, but Define Average Player.

 

[Risto234]

... makes thread like this...

 

[YuriSLopes]

Hehehe...

Won't shove while doing handstands and chip shuffling at the same time.

 

[sincos]

Yes, splitting the bank on the same pair is undesirable

 

[smallfrie]

Average poker player = below average IQ , but watched three episodes of "Poker After Dark' and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

 

[SopianaeExtra]

The average player will never learn that Cardschat exists.

It is not enough to define the opponent from the categories of statistics, it is necessary to observe his game and demeanor, and only after that draw conclusions. Players of this style will stubbornly call all your bets to the end, even when they have nothing at all, clinging to the younger pair or weak draw. It makes no sense to bluff against such players, since they rarely fold, but with a good hand made, you need to constantly bet-raise-reraise, and they often call even bets much larger than the size of the pot itself.

There are different types of players and in a given situation they behave differently.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Oh my God Marge, I think I'm an average player

That’s two swipes against other Cardschat members by the same Cardschat “Loyaler” that I’ve seen today.

 

[Bluffzone68]

Will check AA preflop
And lose hand to a 2 pair Q2os…

 

[Skot_Gy]

WIll try to learn to become better than average

 

[mtl mile end]

..is hard to define.

 

[Rahatis]

Limp/call all in with trash all the way to the final table not giving a flying f about strategy.

 

[povelitelbz]

He believes that the opponent does not bluff.

 

[MattRyder]

..is hard to define.

Do you really think so, or are you just kidding? 😀

 

[fernandofcp]

It's the fearful villain that can complicate other players' lives if given the chance to be curious and post-flop cards.

 

[spunka]

Bet to much in early position and too little in late position.

 

[Gallarado777]

Won’t bet much with top pair but will call just about any amount.

I noticed that the average player comes to the river and on the river is afraid of a big bet and folds a strong hand

 

[Fushicho]

In most defiinitions of "Average" it means in the middle. So better than 50% and worse than 50%. The comments above mainly seem to be desparaging. I think your average player has plenty of experience but hasn't read any poker books.

 

[bapfel]

"average" player to discuss should refer to a certain buy-in level or do you mean the average Cardschat freeroller ?

 

[thetaxman1]

Shove to the left call to the right?

 

[vnnby]

Maybe it's his style of play.

Does it really surprise you that the average player in freerolls does not like to laydown top pair?
