Get better at poker, from fish to shark

Become a Pufferfish: know the rules of the reef.

Small, but it knows the rules of the reef. A pufferfish only puffs up when it means it, so when it does, the others take notice.

Become an Octopus: count every out.

Most of an octopus’s brain sits in its eight arms, so it keeps track of everything at once, down to every card that can still help it.

Become a Shark: never pay too much.

A shark smells a bad price from across the reef. It never pays too much for a meal, and it never lets one go cheap.

Become an Orca: hunt with a plan.

When orcas arrive, even great white sharks leave. Orcas hunt in family pods, with plans passed down from the oldest to the youngest.

Become a Narwhal: the unicorn of the sea.

The unicorn of the sea. Its tusk is a tooth that grows longer than a person is tall, and it was once sold as unicorn horn. Few ever see one.
