The Automatic Cash Machine. For short The ATM.
Know what I mean, guess I mean something different than you “Pokie” ( pokie = any Poker player, affectionate nick name/poker slang in the same vein as Gunny)
The ATM, that dude with the spots and in the daft hat, that can’t put a hand down with any paint in it, Hey man he’s a good player, I seen him play, he’s cool!
No “Pokie” he’s an “ATM” who over bets the pot!
ATM; psychological profile:-
Age 18 to 24
Occupation: - Student
Ability: - Rubbish, but lucky they think they are the next Jonny Chan.
Loves to hear his own voice at the table, plays with his mates, because there is security in a pack, drinks too much, and eats a lot of junk food usually at the table, because their life’s a disaster and they are not DISCIPLINED, reads Super System 2, can’t be bothered with Super System 1, its old hat (ARROGANT) Loves the suck out because they think it’s cool and they are the man!
If you ask them a question, the universal answer is they “They Don’t Care”
Do we Care? Yes we want all their money and they I promise are going to give it to US why?
Because their fearless NO! Because their GOOD NO! They are OUR ATM, They don’t know the most powerful play in poker and that is:-
THE FOLD!
What will they be doing in poker in 20 years time? Nothing they will not be playing
(quote Doyle Brunson)
Best Strategy for getting there chips:- Don’t raise ANYTHING, smooth call, One Gapers, and Suited Connectors, are the best weapon, watch out for the A rag suited, they ALLWAYS play them!
