This tag is used for discussion of metagame considerations; i.e., discussion of aspects of the game outside of the formalized rules and structure.
The metagame, or game about the game, encompasses aspects of the game outside the formalized rules and game structure.
In poker, metagame considerations might include:
- recognizing and exploiting one's table image;
- seat selection relative to opponent types;
- gamesmanship (e.g., Kassouf's "speech play"); and,
- clock management in tournament play (e.g., stalling tactics).
