Mr. Tough Guy
Josh Arieh is a player who you might learn a lot from playing against, but you might want to observe him first. He is one tough customer!
The Atlanta-based Arieh started out playing in the back rooms of pool halls when he wasnt a courier for a law firm, and became a professional because he stayed so passionate about the game. He admits to becoming obsessed! He never stops trying to understand the game and it makes him a very dangerous opponent because he has so much in-depth knowledge and experience.
He refers to himself as a ˜new breed of player who plays with extraordinary aggression backed up by both skill and intuition. With his constant and subtle gear changes, he keeps his opponents guessing so much that the winnings keep amassing. Career wise, hes up to almost 5 million right now. Hes got bracelets (the first in 1999) and hes a familiar face on television.
Ariehs philosophy is that you should be more serious about the game than your opponent is and play aggressively. One of his favorite expressions is œprey of the week. Scary! And, Arieh isnt an ˜all talk kind of player. He puts his philosophies to use quite well by putting enormous pressure on other players especially the weaker ones at any table.
Not all for Josh Arieh has been so rosy thought hes been caught in a couple of poker fracas, which cost him big in the nice guy department. He once criticized an opponents losing hand for which he apologized, but he also has been caught saying some pretty rough things not knowing there was an open television mike nearby. Even with apologies, its meant Arieh has a tough reputation for other than poker. Whether or not the unsportsmanlike conduct has cost him in fans is unknown, but it hasnt affected his game. Hes a street player and a trash talker and he uses it to his advantage. Oddly enough, hes popular with other pros on the circuit.
His favorite game is a No-Limit Holdem and is deadly at that one. He plays upwards of 50 hours a week online plus tournaments and a Team Bodog contract, so hes a busy guy these days. If you think you can stand up to Arieh, he even has his own table at Bodog.
Playing Arieh might take some guts, but its tempting, isnt it?
Oh, I don’t think I’m tempted to play him at all! He has obviously put alot of time and effort into learning the mechanics and tricks of the game, something an amateur player like myself has yet to grasp. Something to aspire to, though! With less of an attitude, however.
The thing that strikes me most about this whole article is the fact that professional poker players nowadays have the opportunity to “lose fans” and to absentmindedly make off-hand comments about other players near a microphone. Ten years ago this guy would have been awfully obscure to the general populous; now the guy’s revered because poker is so fashionable.
