Amarillo Slim’s Top Ten Keys to Poker Success

Amarillo Slim’s Top Ten Keys to Poker Success

1. Play the players more than you play the cards.
2. Choose the right opponents. If you don’t see a sucker at the table, you’re it.
3. Never play with money you can’t afford to lose.
4. Be tight and aggressive; don’t play many hands, but when you do, be prepared to move in.
5. Always be observing at a poker game. The minute you’re there, you’re working.
6. Watch the other players for "tells" before you look at your own cards.
7. Diversify your play so other players can’t pick up tells on you.
8. Choose your speed based on the direction of the game. Play slow in a fast game and fast in a slow game
9. Be able to quit a loser, and for goodness sake, keep playing when you’re winning.
10. Conduct yourself honorably so you’re always invited back.
