Stopping the Tight Player

There are some absolutely brilliant players out there who are that way naturally. They just have the sort of knack for reading situations and putting their opponents on hands that simply can't be taught. But they are the minority. There are a bunch of other really fantastic players who have gotten that way with study, and worked their tails off to be as good as they are. While there are more of them than those who are just born good, this is still a minority of players. Most of what we will meet in the casinos are players who are the poker equivalent of a C student.
