Four Thoughts on Presence in Poker
4 Thoughts on Presence in Poker By B. Butler 1. Obviously, you must be at the poker online table and dealt into a hand to win. But this small fact is just the beginning of what presence means in poker. Presence is a combination of your current action, the action that came before you, and the action your opponent might presume to assign to you based on the previous two combined. 2. The better you can use your presence to do work for you without you doing actual work, the more effective you can be at making money without having to wait for actual cards to come to your hand. 3. Making money off of presence is more volatile and profitable than making money off of cards in Everest. Because not enough powerful hands will come your way over a session, milking the right spots based on your presence will pick up the lag spots between where you make hands that are large enough to add deftly to your profit. 4. Learning not to try to over push your presence is important, also. You are not infallible, no matter how comfortable or strong you feel in your moves at the table. Keep your head on your shoulders and look for spots where you can act under the radar.
