7 Foods that Could Mirror Your Poker Playing Style!
Many fun articles have compared the way different nationalities play poker games.
But what if we looked at their cuisine instead?
Today, we will consider various foods and snacks to see how they might translate to poker strategies and if we can find any fitting analogies.
1: Poker Playing Style vs Tapas
Most of us can be indecisive when ordering a meal, but the Spanish have the perfect solution in tapas.
If you’ve never eaten it, tapas is a variety of small bite-sized dishes instead of a larger main course. Eating tapas lets you enjoy a few different meals in the same sitting without the risk of excessive waste or the button popping on your jeans!
In many ways, eating tapas is a bit like playing ‘small ball’ poker. If that’s not a term you’ve heard when learning how to play poker, don’t fret. Smallball is the name of a popular tournament strategy made famous by Daniel Negreanu a decade or two ago.
In simple terms, it is a conservative poker style that involves the following –
- Avoiding dangerous high variance plays.
- Making lots of small, low risk bluffs instead.
Like eating tapas, small ball poker aims to take small bites of your opponent’s stack.
