Re: Late limping and mini-raising

It's a mistake to think that others will act like you. The only real sign of a monster (or hand that wants to race) that I've found is a limp from a short stack that SHOULD be pushing to steal or a limp (not even a mini-raise) from a super big stack.

What if you've identified the player as someone with similiar playing style as your own? This is something i think about alot, King Yao writes about this and dubbs the player as a 'HoldEm Brain' if he can, "understand how other s view him or her". I look for ways to do this but often wonder if the other playera are thinking about me at all.

Didn't you say you play the $10s? If so, you are absolutely over-analyzing this game. I seriously doubt even 1% of the players at this level are thinking more than level 1. I say this with the utmost respect. Other players are not thinking about you yet. I haven't read King's book, but I'm certain it's intended for opponents who you know are thinkers/players/skilled. The $10+1s are full of gamblers. Learn to understand the gambling mentality, and then move to the $22s.
Edit: Level 1 thinking (in case you didn't know). "Wow, my cards are pretty."
