• QUESTIONS

  Not surprisingly, the ability to listen, capabilities and limitations, and our
  level of knowledge. The perfect player is someone that doesn't always
  have all the answers. He'd prefer to say he hasn't a true answer, than to give
  an inaccurate or incomplete one.

  A someone who understands the games peaks and valleys and has a feel
  for the challenges. Someone with good communications, but not overkill.
  A someone who has a handle on the technical side of things and is friendly
  and honest and willing to listen.

  We'll list a few crazy archetypes –

  Yes Man: when pressed to answer
  your question, he solves the problem by saying Yes, it will do all of that
  and more, he really doesn't know and is afraid to admit it.

  Armageddon: must do it this way or something bad will happen, he spreads
  fear and doubt.

  Stalker: relentlessness is a big turn off and they'll say anything to get
  what they want.

  Know-It-All: they have all the answers, and never at a loss for words, won't
  admit they can't answer the question, so they respond like slippery politicians
  and beat around the bushes.

  Clueless: knows nothing about the game and has clearly not done his
  homework, fully unprepared.

  Entourage: he's the group and spokesman with the intention of answering
  with the help of the combined group and adding a total non-value to the
  requirements of the questions.

  Human nature is constant when dealing with these types, there's no substitute
  for due diligence and experience. Know exactly what you need and want and
  understand how answers you look for will interact with your existing playbook.

  Ultimately you'll find the satisfaction and solutions and know how.

  Good Luck at the tables
