Even if this guy gets killed, he has in his mind that he is the best no-limit Texas Hold’em player in the world.

While the majority of poker players would prefer to dodge rivals of this class, there are other players who could say that bragging may have its advantages.

Bragging about how skilled you are in poker is basically just like asserting: “I am the finest Texas Hold’em Poker player on the planet, always remember to stay on your A-game while you’re sitting in a poker game against me!” No doubt, that is the most awful vibe to give out playing poker.

Additionally there are those poker players who could exploit bragging as a kind of no-limit Texas Hold’em tactic, or bluff.

Some could think that this technique a bit devious, but it is key to keep in mind that there are not too many rules against it in no-limit Texas Hold’em. Texas Hold’em Poker is all about making use of what you have and taking advantage of it to the max.
