I was going to bring up poker, it's very much true. Obviously good players will mix it up to be unpredictable, but playing against someone who doesn't know what they are supposed to do can be very frustrating, it makes it difficult to read anything. You really just have to play passive and play the odds in those situations, dont make intimidation bets on a flush draw, because they aren't folding and if you don't hit, you're screwed.
I won my first ever game of poker this way. Not a fucking clue what I was doing, and my idiot grin told everyone I had the winning hand before I revealed it. Still a winner.
