Default Re: Reading Opponents

Chris,

Thanks for the reply. The generalization helps somewhat but I'm looking more specific. Let's say you are in BB with Q-Q and and LP comes all-in and a call would put you all-in. Now if I believe this player would only go all-in with A-K, A-A, and K-K this is an easy fold but if I saw him do this with 8-8 and K-Q suited odds are that I have the better hand and I would weigh Risk vs Reward as to whether the +EV warrants a call.

The math is simple the read is where the skill is at. I know in ring the more specifically right you can be putting someone on a hand the more profitable you are. Now Chris you have raised another question; Do the tourney vets out there feel that trying to get as specific a read as possible is a waiste of time and just generalities work?
