Visiting a newly opened poker room can be a lot of fun, but it is a different experience from playing in an established room. Many time, players will imagine what they will find and end up being completely wrong in their expectations.

VISITING A NEW
POKER ROOM?
Visiting a newly opened poker room
can be a lot of fun, but it is a different
experience from playing in an
established room. Many time, players
will imagine what they will find and
end up being completely wrong in their
expectations. Here are just a few
things that you can expect to find:

3. BAD PLAYERS
Calling them "bad" players may be a little harsh,
but new poker rooms tend to attract
inexperienced players. Expect to go up against
novices who play hands that they should fold while
making recklessly large bets. This can be a
blessing or a curse depending on the kind of
player that you are.
If you're looking for a challenge against
experienced players, being in a room full of
novices is annoying, but it can also be a good
thing if you're looking for some easy victories.
Keep in mind that you cannot expect this to last
forever. In time, the truly bad players will either
improve or move on to other rooms.

4. A BIGGER
VARIANCE
A new poker room will likely be full of novice players who make large bets and play high-
stakes games. This kind of playing could be used to your advantage if you are an experienced
player. In this type of atmosphere, you'll see much bigger swings than usual when you play.
This means that you will want to be in more pots than you would if you were playing against
more experienced players. Bring a larger bankroll than usual, and be prepared to play more
aggressively. As a more experienced player, you have higher chances of winning against the
novice players making the big bets.

5. A DIFFERENT
PROJECTED IMAGE
Those who play in your usual
rooms most likely know about
your playing style and will
strategize accordingly. This will
not be the case when you're in a
new room. Other players may be
able to read you, but it will all be
based on superficial
observations; they won't know
how you usually play.
This means that you will have to
be conscious of the image that
you present in this new room. You
could use the other players'
unfamiliarity with you to your
advantage, or you could start to
establish a reputation if you plan
to keep coming back to this new
room.

6. BE KIND
AND
HELPFUL
You may be an aggressive player
who cleans up at a table, but
you also have to remember that
this is just a game. Be nice, and
treat the other players with
respect if you want the same
respect in return.
