Every table has one. Every orbit confirms it.

Every table has one player who treats the button like a legal obligation to raise.


Folded to him in position?


Raise.


Three limpers ahead?


Raise.


93 offsuit, everyone already in, bad texture coming?


Raise. With conviction.


The tells are consistent. The frequency is clockwork. The adjustments require patience.


Stop complaining about the raises.


Start trapping.


Let him hang himself with the rope he brings to every orbit.


The correct adjustment is simple in theory and emotionally difficult in practice because it requires:


1. Letting him take the pot now

2. Waiting for a real hand

3. Not tilting when he shows 93o and wins anyway


Step 3 is the hardest part.
