I've noticed that the only way to win at gpokr is to be eternally patient. The heavy betting tactics on the lower tables will no doubt put you out if you get sucked into a challenge with one of the bullies playing there. The only way to win against them is to wait for the right hand. Impatience is the enemy of every player and the consistant winners have an alligator mentality. They wait just below the surface waiting for the right moment to strike and then they hit and hit hard. Hope this helps you.
