Are you closer to fish or shark?

Apparently it all depends on who you will compare yourself with.

On poker stars play chips, I am a shark, one of the biggest sharks in the ocean.
I doubt too many players have a bigger play chip bankroll, and recently I won the largest buy-in tournament that Poker Stars offers on the play chip side for us "free" Americans (that's a sick joke that isn't funny, but what else can we do but laugh at our idiot government for taking our freedom away?)

On ACR, I am a fish, I play at the micro level and don't win a lot. I'm not the worst fish on the site, but I'm certainly not having the same success as I have on Poker Stars.

So yes... we can be both a shark and a fish at the same time, it really just depends on who we are playing against, as the previous poster said.

How do you define whether you are a shark or a fish? Just about whether someone makes a profit or not? Or the style of play? I mean a maniac may play like a fish from the way he plays, but he can still make a profit for a certain period of time. In terms of the style of play, I would call myself a shark. I try to have a tight and aggressive style of play. So far I have remained without any real profit. Maybe I'm still making too many mistakes, maybe the variance in poker is just too great or a mixture of both.

I am neither one nor the other. I'm somewhere in the middle. Sometimes you have to act like a fish if there is no good card for a long time.

 

[Chief talking bull]

I'm more like a penguin. I'm really cute but if your a fish I will eat you alive.

 

[dompoker]

I think I am a fish, because I have never won much money at poker.

As a scuba diver, I have been close to sharks, but closer to other fish.

a fish trying to learn from sharks

I have been playing poker for 4 years, but I do not consider myself a fish or a shark. Although I have pretty good results and my bankroll is growing every month, I understand that I am actually a beginner. However, I just can't consider myself a fish or a shark.

Everything in this world is relative. Shark also serves as food. :eating:

 

[Zvezda kz]

I can rightfully call myself a fish. So you have a good chance to beat me at the tournament tables.

 

[papapokera85]

Shark is the best style for me. But you can also go fishing))

A shark is also a fish! But seriously, we are all in different situations and both!

 

[romamirr]

Undoubtedly a shark. When I started playing, I was a fish)
Now I have a bad period in poker, the downstreak has begun. I hope to get out of it with less losses, both in psychology and in money. Peace for everyone!

 

[christmasscorpion]

I'm a cross between a shark and a fish.

 

[fullclock]

we are all fish and we think we are sharks

 

[demesquita]

Definitely a fish. But I'm having fun and that is what matter to me!

 

[Vlaad]

Is plankton an option? :angel:

I am somewhat new to poker and do not have all the terms down. I know this is a stupid question... But what is the exact meaning of each of those terms? Is slow playing a shark? Or is going after it aggressively? What is a fish?

 

[joeisi]

I am no fish or no shark.
I am more of a crazy donkey.

 

[5KINGLEO5]

most likely I look like a little shark, I play small tournaments and give him little fish.)))

Fish is someone who is new to the game, or it could be someone who has played a long time but never really learned the 'deeper wisdom' in poker and plays mostly for fun. A shark is hard to beat, someone who has put time and effort to the game, and usually wins in long term.

 

[black and]

It is quite difficult to answer you specifically, but given my results I think I am a donkey.

 

[Dimission]

Give me fish, I have to hear baby shark, mama shark and papa shark here every day.
