  It happens to everyone: you will be sitting at the table with somebody who seems to be telepathic. They put you on a hand correctly every time and always seem to get away with your pot. They might as well take your girlfriend, kick you in the clock weights, and steal your lunch money while they are at it. There are two ways to deal with this guy. You can either walk away and find a table where the most skilled player can only manage a monosyllabic vocabulary, or you can start playing badly.



  While your lack of success against this player would make you think that you are already playing badly, this may not be the case: he or she may just be playing way better than you are. The problem is that it is both unlikely and unethical to have David Sklansky looking over your shoulder and telling you what to do. You will need to loosen up your play to make yourself more unpredictable.



  Your looser play will keep him from being able to put you on a hand. Adding a little confusion to the equation may slow this person up and throw some more pots your way. The dividends on this may be quick as it is apparent that your opponent already has you figured out.



  Another aspect of the strategy of loosening your play is that it is obvious that you are not skilled enough to keep up with this guy: so why continue playing the skilled player's game? What you want to do is force him to skate on your side of the rink. Loose play adds a greater element of luck to the equation, and blunts the advantage that their better play gives them.



  Anybody who has an argument with this strategy just keep in mind that some nameless parade of sub-adults have been walking away with World Series of Poker braclets while Doyle Brunson is usually eliminated on the first day of a competition. We doubt there is anyone who would argue that he has more skill than some kid whose biggest worry outside of succeeding in a WSOP event is his biology mid-term exams.



  Good Luck!
