Televised poker

Bad education

There's a lot you can learn from watching poker on the box, but not all of it is going to improve your game...

If you nip down to your local park at the weekend, you’ll probably see a Sunday league footballer rolling around in the penalty box. The injured party will have theatrically hurled himself to the ground over someone’s outstretched leg, and the ref will be surrounded by players waving their arms around in a bid to encourage a red card.

It’s no surprise really – it’s natural for people to replicate what they see the professionals doing on TV. Well, poker’s no different to football in that respect. It’s too easy to start misbehaving and carrying on like you’re the new Hold’em world champion after every pot you take down.
