Acting like Ice
Acting Like Ice By B. Butler The greatest kind of online poker player is untouchable. No matter how you come after him, what kind of beats he takes, what kind of variance occurs in his stack, what kind of game talk you aim his way, he remains unflappable, collected, calm and on his online poker game. You can’t spin him any way but by coming with the cards or the power position and trying to take it from him. There is no back door. These kinds of players are always the greatest in the game. Even the wilder mouths like Phil Hellmuth, who loves to hurrah but at heart is certainly as calculating as they come, know that at the end of the day, the online poker cards and the results are what matter. Allowing no response to your toil is vital to staying on center, and to remaining hard while other players melt in the crossfire. The best thing you can do both for your table image and for the longevity of your bank roll is to keep that cold center still; to move forward knowing that when it comes to you, the right decision is valued over any question of image. Silence is golden, and being uncrackable is truly frightening to a lot of players. Teach them respect.
