The Most Overrated Poker Advice

[Bawse]

What's a common piece of poker advice you disagree with?

The most overrated advice is "always play tight". That does not always work, especially against players that are very aggressive. I think it's better to adapt to the table instead. So, you adjust based on your opponents.

Some people think poker is a mystical game—can you believe it? They’ll tell you that to win, you have to learn to read your opponents' souls. That has to be the most absurd and overrated piece of advice in all of poker. The idea that it’s something mystical, beyond the realm of strategy and mathematics—what idiots! People who believe that winning at poker depends on something outside our control... it’s just pure ignorance.
