When you play the game at a lower level, you do not need to worry about the very clear interpretation of individual opponents cards on the table, because you may never touch them again. It is important to know what type of opponent and adjust your play against him.
How different types of players
There are two basic questions to ask:
• He played a lot of play cards or just a small number of cards?
• His play aggressive or passive?
Some people like to play a lot of cards, which is "loose (loose)". And someone just playing a careful selection of starting hands, this is "tight (tight)".
This obviously means that a player play pre-flop, but you can use the same terminology to Miao Xu play post-flop. For example, one term is "loose fit or fold". It refers to a lot of players like to see flop, but did not hit when the sign face will always fold. Of course, this does not usually happen, put them out of the pot becomes easier.
The second question refers to a player how to play his cards. If he is aggressive, you can choose a predictable radical opponents of bets. This may be simply check / raise (you know he might bet The concept allows and give yourself a chance to raise). Of course, this bet is only really effective if the opponent bets.
You can also try to induce a bluff: you pretend weakness to encourage a bluff Again, this bet is only valid when the opponent is really bluffing a passive player may not be fooled, because the bluff is a. kind of aggressive play.
The best way to deal with passive opponent betting value standard is carried out. You hold a good hand and know the opponent does not take the initiative to put money in the end pool, so you have to help him.
Regardless of the type of opponents you face, the trick is to do the opposite. If he is loose, you tight. If he tight, you relax. If he likes to bluff, take a passive way and let him take the initiative under Note If he is passive, you seize the initiative to many a classic mistake players make is: that the opponents are playing every hand, therefore, I can do it in fact just the opposite.
Rocklike players (Rocks)
Let's start an extreme player types: rock class players.
Rock class players can easily be detected, because they rarely play a hand. They sat there for hours and do nothing. They are not waiting for good cards, they are waiting for the best hand. If he began to take up, You can be very sure that he has a 5 A or better hand (this is a metaphor, meaning he would only play the kind of super-brand) to God that he would win the hand. Adjustment players play against rocky very simple, just:
• ignore him and
• have the opportunity to attack his blinds.
• If he calls you raise pre-flop in, you can almost always bet to win the pot.
• If he begun to move, you will avoid his edge.
Even weak rock class player, but he was at a lower level can make money, he only needs a fool rock class players profit from choosing the wrong time to bluff his players that the player said:.. "He has not played hand, he now raises like a crazy player's performance! - he must be bluffing "Do not give money to him like a fool.

They have learned enough many things and think they know what they are doing. They usually hold a list of starting hands and make a solid, aggressive pre-flop game. They got into trouble after the flop and generally realize not control the situation, and ultimately regret involved in This hand game.
This also applies to rock class players: be aggressive game against him for no good your self-esteem, which is also not conducive to your financial idiot just looking for a reason to fold, so you give them a reason confused. insects rarely bluff continuation bet is the only exception. respect this, not because you think he might bluff and began to call. If a slob raise, continuation bet the flop and continue to turn flop bet, he was almost sure that there is the best hand.
Weak Topology (Weak Tight Players)
