This will be a ongoing profiles of the poker personalities you will meet while playing poker
Enemy or Friend?
Don't ever try befriending a bookworm because they are not the friendly sort. They assume that they know a bunch about the game and they boast it to others by teaching them the right way according to their standards. They will try to persuade you to do this and that. They have also a bad trait of criticizing and laughing on other player's mistake which is kind of rude. The other player might be tempted to leave the game for a better table or will do finer on the next round. There is no doubt that the bookworm knows the basic of poker but don't be scared on that, but the way they treat other people must be watch.
Aggressiveness and Selectivity
The bookworm personality plays tight during pre-flop; playing somewhere between 20%-25% of the hands they got. But it is during post-flop that this kind of players panic. They have read a lot of books about poker - they probably brought something in their bag for luck - but these books have a variety of ideas which push these bookworms to continue playing after the flop. The reasoning would be, all players have their own weakness and when they write a book they will correct their weaknesses. So the bookworm have all those weaknesses in mind from reading those books and will result in a too loose and too aggressive type of play during post-flop.
And because the only aspect of poker wherein the general poker players agree would be the strength of your starting hand, then its the only part that the bookworm truly understands.
The type of play of the bookworm will fall in a partially aggressive manner. They are willing to bet but if someone plays along with them they will just call and call unless they are holding a the best hand in town.
How To Predictable They Are
Yes, the bookworms know about deceptive plays as what they learn from the book. But they are nothing near to a deceptive player. Their style can be read clearly because they often use the same one.
Poker IQ
This sort of poker personalities have low poker IQ even though they might actually have memorizes the poker books they are reading. This is due to the fact that given a change in the gaming situation, the bookworm will not know how to adjust his game because their knowledge is only base on the books they have read and not on their own personal experiences. But they are not aware or ignore to be aware that the authors who wrote those books have written their advice under the general conditions and because situations vary in every play those general advice will not be really as effective. But then bookworms treat those books with reverie and will follow each steps like its the most important thing in poker.
