Nowadays, a new kind of poker player is developing. They are the backwards players, tilted backwards and they have one significant attribute that can be appreciated because they have no idea what a nut means. These players are not inexperienced players. They will usually understand draw odds, they know the fact that on a high percentage all other players wont start with cards that are considered to be the nuts and that players dont keep a hand that is probably locked. Backwards players arent just plain unintelligent. They can develop into good players but they still have to learn. And they hold their money dearly, so they will believe every time that all the players they encounter will do the same with their stacks, that no one will ever risk to lose money for playing them or follow an important purpose.

A backward player will do mostly the opposite of what an experienced player does usually. They will be aggressive most of the times, excepting the situations they have a winning hand. They are players easy to tell, they do what in real poker a scared player does. Once they see an opportunity of winning, they get scared of losing and hold that hand dearly through safe and passive play. So, according to this pattern a backward player that has something will mostly check or bid less when he has a real hand that can aim for the pot. Of course, this seems to any one a bad even crazy idea, to bet less when you actually can win. They are minimizing their winnings through their behavior at the poker table. If they can get to the right table they can actually make a profit out of their gaming style. The right table for a backward player is a table where all players are tight and take no chances, a table where people will fold every time the backward player raises in his usual style.

So, take advantage of the existence of the backward player and go on a hunt for them. They are quite easy to spot. All you have to do is look for that particular table where you can see a player that has a stack much bigger than all the others and that player just keeps on betting his huge bets.

To play a backward player you must know his two great fears: when he is being checked-raised and when he has the winning hand and no one calls. He is not a player that bluffs, he just wants everyone out of the table and will bet as much as he can afford to get them out. If you check raise a backward player you will let him know that you know his style and you are willing to risk everything just like him because you know you can make a huge profit. He can go all-in here if the is hoping for a draw, fold if he truly has nothing or check when he thinks (and he will probably do this) you will let him be on the turn and the river.

A backwards player, once losing his stack through many consecutive re-raises from you will not give up. He will keep on coming back and if you manage to get his money every time you will get his entire bankroll. So you will get rich in just one poker room in a couple of hours if you can find your backwards player and check-raise him often until he is completely messed up.
