Hey guys, I am back with the continuation of my last two articles which do come in the rules for poker game. Here, I have made easier, for you, to study your opponent’s poker game by a small to do list which will guide you to learn a poker game of an individual player and you can have an observation report too. So for this to do list, you will have to pick a poker player to observe and he/she has to be the player，you admire or respect or someone who gives you trouble when you play. Study the to do list carefully and make an observation report of the poker hand rankings yourself.
1) Blind play, do they defend or release.2) What poker hands do they play and from what position, and how do they play them? For example, do they raise with K-J in early position? Do they shuffle with big pairs in early of the poker game? Do they raise with anything when they are first to act? At pre-flop, do they do a lot of limping, raising or both? What percent of the flop would you say they saw.
3) What poker hands they re-raise with. This will tell you a lot about how they react to other poker players and what hands they believe have significant value.
4) How much they bet pre-flop and what is their standard raise? Do they vary it? If they do, are you able to get any indication of why they vary it and with what type of hands?
5) How much they bet post-flop and do they bet draws? Do they raise draws? When they have a poker hand like top pair how much do they bet? When they have the nuts or a hand close to it, how much do they bet? Do they vary their bets? If so, were you able to determine anything by the way they were betting?
6) How they play speculative hands. Do they call raises pre-flop out of position? Do they call raises pre-flop in position? Post-flop if they've flopped a draw, will they "chase" and if so, what size bets will they call and what size bets will they fold to.
7) General summary/observations (tight, loose, aggressive, passive, good, weak, steal a lot/not at all, adjusts play based on stage of tournament etc;).
8) How to best play this opponent (in your opinion). If you know the poker player, do not tell them that you are observing them, as they should play there normal poker game.
Soon I will get a poker player observation report to you which I observed while playing online poker… Stay tuned!!!
