Hi,

For about a month now, I’ve been playing No Limit Holdem in tournaments online. To get some tips and added strategies, I tried to looked for some books and websites that could help me out. Well, they can potentially help me, but I noticed that most of the sources I found talk about evaluating opponent’s style of play; which in a way is intriguing.

I tried to use some of the pointers I got like for example I caught somebody bluffing for a good pot, or the like.

On the other hand, when I’m playing online games, I noticed that most of the pots are won without any of the hole cards being turned, but I don’t exactly get the hang of it. Same case when keeping a written record during games of the number of flops that other players see, pre-flop raises, etc. I’m not sure if they’ve been a help.

Any advice on what kind of moves by an opponent should I be watching of? What kind of attitude, strategy of opponents, etc. should I really consider to eventually classify various playing style?

Thanks!

Donald,

You need to watch the betting patterns of your opponents and the cards that they show down to get an idea of how they play when you play online. Watch how much they raise, reraise, limp in, etc to try and get an idea of the hand ranges they play and how they play hands when they have strong hands and when they are bluffing. Pay attention to their moves depending on their position as well. These are the best ways to classify your opponent online.
