By Darious Burk

Naturally, those who scout for baseball players based their find into 5 factors known as the 5 tools. That's the reason why those all around players are called 5 tool players. These 5 tools that I'm talking about concerning baseball are:

Hit for power Hit for average Run well Are good defensively Have good arm strength

There's as well an equal for that 5 tool for poker players, however, it aim accent on the genial side instead of the physical. In order for you to be a 5 tool poker player you must acknowledge this:

Selective Aggressive Deceptive Experience A Thinker

Selective means picking your spots well. Starting from the cards you are using for starters. Knowing when to bluff, it's very important to identify the spots wisely because it is really important. But don't think that selective players are not tight players too. This is because selective players know how to adjust their play in every opponent they encounter and tight players use one strategy to all their opponents respectively.

Aggressiveness is also a must for poker players because it allows them to win the pot in every way possible and these traits is also needed to get the respect of your opponents. There are tight and loose players who are actually good but for me there are no good passive players.

Deceptive players have a lot of tricks on their sleeves. They also know how to use these tricks on their opponents, applying the appropriate trick on the right adversary. Poker tricks are only effective when use at the right person. Deceptive players move are also unpredictable which makes them a dangerous opponent.

Those who have experience it all know it all. Experience players know how to place their emotions in check especially when things become unfortunate for them. They can conquer pressurize situations with a quick and clear decision due to the wide knowledge they had acquire on their poker career. They are also aware that a pocket aces cannot really win a hand all the time so they are prepared for it.

A player who thinks can be someone who's ready with a plan but knows how to change tactic when there is a change of situations. They know how to be a step ahead on their opponents.

Now you know how to become a 5 tool poker player. Are you ready to become one? - 16887
