Free rules for poker 35: If you're doing a lot of folding, won't this look odd to the other players?

You might sometimes get the feeling that all this folding you're doing looks
pretty obvious to the other players. You can almost feel their watchful eyes
on you – and hear them thinking: «Boy, he sure plays tight. He must be
waiting for the perfect hand to come along».
If you took a survey, though, you would find this is not what most low-
level opponents are thinking at all. Here is what they are really thinking
when you are doing a lot of folding:

1. Nothing.
2. You're a player who must be getting pretty lousy cards.
3. Great “you're out of the way“ let the action commence without
you.
4. They really don't care (or even notice). Frankly, there are enough
other opponents in the game to worry about, and the fewer
opponents, the better.
5. You must be a fairly «tight» player may be a «rock».

Notice that the thing you were most worried about came in last –
which it probably would in a real survey.
