Free rules for poker 34: In the best players there is a streak of simple common sense.

If we put things in these terms, the game seems pretty simple.
Strategies are somewhat different than this at higher, more sophisticated
levels of play, of course, but for most players this common sense aspect is
something to keep in mind. It is possible for a player to get lost in
convoluted scheming and overlook this simple truth – that a good portion of
the game is simply common sense. And this trait is also present in the great
players. In fact, the vast majority of plays in the game of poker are not
fancy, sophisticated plays, but obvious ones. But these have to be done right
too.
