#3 The Slot Machine

The Slot Machine

This style keeps calling no matter what the draw and will fold on the river if they do not hit. You must keep betting into this player. You do not want to give them free cards. Why the name slot machine, because you may lose a little along the way but eventually you will hit the jackpot and win a big pot. The good thing about this style is that they are predicable. They will call any draw, but when they make their hand they will then bet out, so you know that they now have a made hand. How you get paid off is by having a bigger hand. You usually need the nuts to get it done. Just remember that a player playing this style is usually a beginner and their idea of a big hand could be as simple as top pair and a big kicker. The tough part about this style is the unpredictability of what their hand actually is. They may have the nut flush or just top pair. That is what you are going to have to use your instincts to figure out. This player is going to give all their chips away, so it might as well be you receiving them!
