Personality traits carry over to the poker table. If you are a bad liar, forget your chances at ever being good at poker because to play poker, loyalty, honesty, sportsmanship and a code of morality is thrown out the window.

In poker, deception is the key to winning and uncovering your foe’s deceptions is also the key. If morality and good sportsmanship motivates you to play a game forget poker. Lies and deceipt are the name of this game. Playing ABC poker can get you far especially when playing against professional poker players. Professional poker players have a hard time
playing against people who play ABC poker and maniacs. Maniacs are people who aren’t shy about using the all-in move – a lot!
