A bookworm is not you ally. They seem to know a lot about poker and they tend to “impart their knowledge” to others at the table. They will teach you anything from what hands you should play to calculating if you’re going to win or not.

As an aftermath this player might leave the game to look for a friendlier table or will be playing better than anyone have expected.

These know only your own cards and because they are sometimes keyed to the exact brand of poker game that you are playing, they know the seating positions and can calculate how likely it is that your own cards can win based on the amount of money in the pot, your own seated position and the cards already shown on the table and in your hand.
