Try to read the hands of your opponents

Published at 2. 5. 2009 in category Main

Reading your opponents’ hands is not at all easy. This is a thing which is learnt through experience. Without any experience of the live table you can’t learn to read the hands of your opponents. You should try to understand the gestures of your opponents. Be very watchful during the distribution of cards. The first look of the opponents on their cards can give you a couple of hints. After that, look at the behavior of the players during the very first round of betting. For instance, if any of your opponents bets very hard before the flop, then probably he or she is holding TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA, or an AK suit in hand. Any bet that is made before the flop is usually made on strong cards. Watch the gestures of that opponent at the start of the flop. If on opening the flop, the opponent takes a deep sigh, or twitches his hands and re-raises the stake, then probably he is sitting either on a flush or on two pairs of heavy cards. So, if you are holding average cards, it is better to get out of the game by folding your cards.
