1. Invite fish to your home

In every game of poker you play you should be looking at where the money is coming from. It could be your best mate who’s never played before, a colleague who wants to know what all this poker malarkey is about or the drunk from your local pub. Just make sure that it’s not you that everyone is looking at while licking their lips and rubbing their hands.

Not only is it a good move to make sure that there’s some dead money at the table, it will also act as bait for the other sharks in the game, giving you more room to manoeuvre in and around them.
