Hi! What are the first things that come to mind when you hear the term table captain? Do you think of a table bully? Or, perhaps of a player on a hot streak? Or, perhaps of a superior player?
A table captain could be any or all of these examples. But, the label is usually not permanent. Bullies can be beaten, and so can superior players. And, hot streaks do not last.
There is, however, a table presence that is more enduring - a table leader. This is the player who quitely goes about his business of exerting a little influence here, and a little pressure there.
Slowly but surely, the table leader builds for himself an image of respect, and a following. That is, there will be a few, and at times several, of his opponents who will almost unconsciously follow his lead.
I write about the phenomenon of table leadership in my article, Five Tips For Training Your Sit 'n' Go Opponents. There are probably many more than five instances of leading (training) your opponents.
Many of them, you may already practice. But, you might not even be aware of your subtle manipulative ways.
The point of my article is to raise your awareness. With conscious effort, you can achieve some profitable results.
Thanks and Good Luck!
