They say Obama was a very conservative poker player and did very little bluffing. Now that is more telling than most would understand. Having played high stakes poker quite well most of my life, let me say, conservative poker sounds good, but it is a game top players can always beat. Take it apart. Doyle Brunson wrote the definitive work on poker. He called it: "power poker". Here is what you gain by bluffing. And when I play I am bluffing and bluffing and buffing. 1) When one is always bluffing how can you read his hand? You cannot. But if someone only plays the best hands, their hand is an open book, you always know what they have. But also you will get more calls when you do have a good hand, because you might be bluffing. 2) When you bet, you always have a chance of winning the pot if everyone drops. People who play conservatively can't win pots by calling if they miss and are simply looking to make big hands. They are called calling stations. Professsional poker players favorite targets. And you cannot win a pot without a hand if you are calling all the time. Playing tight also shows one is not seeing the higher diminsions of the game.
