This will be a ongoing profiles of the poker personalities you will meet while playing poker
Ally or Enemy?
Don't event think that a bookworm can be your friend because it will only spell out disaster. They might put you in a verge of craziness when they start teaching you and other players on how to play the game and telling all of you what's right and what's not. Their kind is really annoying. They are full of bad habits like criticizing someone when they made a bad play and laughing at their mistakes. The concerned player may wish to transfer at a friendlier table or will try to redeem himself by playing a lot better. It only means one thing, you should not worry about the ordinary skills that the bookworm may have but let your concern dwell on how they behave at the poker table.
Selectivity and Aggression
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.
The strength of a starting hand is what almost all poker players agree with and this is the only part that the bookworm absolutely understands.
To summarize the game play of a bookworm - they are somehow aggressive in their play but will play loosely when someone aggravates them with the only exemption of them holding the best card in the table.
Predictability
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 type of poker personality has a very low poker IQ even if they knew a lot about poker through the books they read. But in the moment of truth and when something inevitable happens they don't how to make adjustments. Their number one problem is that they only follow what they read from the books and never think for themselves. The author of the books they read generalize the advice they gave and is not applicable on the bookworm's present condition because it varies. They worship their books like it is the word of God and they think that by reading them they will know what to do on a specific condition.
"Hey, BOOKWORMS You're playing poker not building a desk, you can't just follow instructions!"
Bookworms will have a hard time comprehending the motives behind a player's move. They expect that all players must follow what they do and those who don't will be criticize and laugh at.
What You Should Do
In order for you to defeat a bookworm, it is important that you become their "friend". Then start up a talk with them and they will show you what they knew and will eventually brag about their game play.
But if ever they strike out your effort in befriending them then its time to put up your aggressiveness into play. Stay aggressive and don't be afraid to bet against them if they will.
