Confidence is a weapon that most poker players overlook when they go to the tables. However, it will directly affect the way you play and how other players perceive you. Having confidence in your playing ability and the level you are playing is going to give off a vibe to players that you are in control and a force to reckon with. If you are apprehensive mentally, other players will catch on and try to push you around. Having confidence will give you an edge in bluffing more because players are going to see the confidence in your body language and the way you are betting. Unknowingly, if you don’t have confidence, you are more susceptible to giving off tells. Confidence pertains to knowing your playing ability, bankroll, and the level that suites your skills. If you are playing outside of your comfort level in these areas, it will greatly affect your ability to make money.
