The 3 things SCOOP winners do well (and how you can start doing them too)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Yori Epskamp

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

The great Phil Galfond once said: “The biggest misconception in poker is that poker is its own innate skill, like saying ‘I’m good at dancing’.”

In other words, good players aren’t simply “good at poker”. There isn’t one thing that great poker players all do well.

The truth is that the best poker players possess a vast array of skills and traits which have led them to success. So when family members at the dinner table ask you “what makes a good poker player?” it can be tricky to pin down an answer without listing more than 20 different attributes.

Instead, we’re going to focus on what online tournament winners do well in order to achieve their success in the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) 2020.

Thankfully, a bunch of SCOOP champs were on hand to help us find out.
