Hi everyone,
I moved up to 10/20-6 about 30k hands ago. It seems that this level rewards hand reading and adjustments to opponents much more than lower limits. I think I do an "OK" job at this, but my reads are not very sophisticated. Mostly I am noticing who the habitual bluffers are and calling them down and trying to notice the passive feebs to whom one can fold a decent hand.
I also look at the following things:
1. What are his opening standards by position?
2. What does preflop 3-bet or cap mean?
3. How does he play draws postflop?
4. Does he seem like a habitual bluffer?
I would like to become more sophisticated in reading opponents and hands.
What are the things you want to know when someone new sits down? How are you keeping track of this information? Do you have any processes that help you incorporate this into your play?
What other resources and advice can you suggest to help me become better and more focused at hand reading?
Thanks,
Jim
