Poker Help: Fish
A fish is a poker term for a poor card player who executes bad poker strategy and gives their money away. Generally, it is a bad idea to upset poor players because of the high likelihood that they will leave the game (meaning you can’t get any more of their money). This is a generally accepted practice in poker rooms, particularly online poker rooms, around the word. It is from this idea where the common poker phrase “Don’t tap on the aquarium,” implying don’t scare away the “fish,” comes from.
Finding Nemo (Finding the fish at your poker table)
Theres a well known saying in poker “If you’ve been sitting at a poker table for 30 minutes and have not figured out who the fish is yet, its you”
Some swear by this saying. I’ll reserve comment on that. As long as you’re at least breaking even, and you’re learning, I say well done, you can only improve.
