The fish is a poker term for the player who is going to be easiest to take money from. It is said that if you can not spot the fish at your table then you are the fish.
The confidence displayed on your face is one of the best ways to avoid having people pick you out as a new player to the Texas Holdem Table or whatever poker game you have chosen. This confident look will make it seem like you belong in the room. If you look lost people will watch you like a vulture stalking a dying animal in the desert, and they will pick you off the first chance they get.
If you thought you could walk in and learn the game as you play the only thing that is going to happen is that you are going to go broke fast, and then you are going to hear laughter as you walk away from the table with your head down and defeated. Make sure you know all the inns and outs of the game before coming to play in the casino. At home on the computer online playing against computer opponents is the best way to start, then eventually join a weekly texas holdem game with friends then go online and play fro real money before going near a casino poker room.
If you were a spy trying to infiltrate into Russia during the cold war the CIA would have you trained on how to speak Russian and the proper idioms and accent as well so that you blend is as a local, well texas holdem has its own language as well and if you want to blend in as an experienced player you have to know the language as a native speaker. This means understanding what others are saying and being able to use the common expressions correctly in normal conversation. Not laughing at a joke because you did not understand it will make you stand out and some people are bound to notice and figure out you are not all you seem to be.
You may have seen people playing Texas Holdem on television dressed with advertisements for poker tournaments and poker related products and if you go to some stores you can buy this type of apparel. Do not let yourself think that you can go into a casino dressed like this and get away with it. The people on TV are paid to wear that stuff because they are professional texas holdem players and have a good chance of being seen on TV. In the casino poker room a first time player will not be on any TV except a security camera getting laughed at by the security officers as you lose all your money. No one will take you to be a real player if you are dressed like a fool.
Every player at a texas holdem poker table that spots you as the fish will then begin to focus on you till they find your tells, and believe me we all have them. It is just experience that allows some of us to hide them better then others.
